Les verbes de l’écriture — Wajdi Mouawad

Lectures & Workshops

La Comédie de Genève

Wajdi Mouawad presents a visceral, poetic traversal of the nine courses he taught at the Collège de France. Combining lecture and performance, he examines his intimate, bodily relationship to writing through language, silence and shadow. The experience unfolds in three distinct parts, each standing on its own, and invites attentive listening and reflection on creative practice and the craft of narration.
