This year, the Printemps des Poètes is on its way to better days, with the receding of the pandemic raising all hopes. This twenty-fourth edition of this extraordinary festival on a national scale specifically questions the ‘transience’, the transience of our little pleasures. Mossack Media Library opens its garden level to the festival for two poetic and musical encounters, organized by the Lire Sous Ogives Association. The premiere took place on Friday, March 18th, with this quest for hold and wear that suits hair well. The geographical bias used forced us to travel just over an hour to the Atlantic and Portuguese borders of Europe. Claude Juliette Pfevre, a brilliant storyteller, has built an anthology of the greatest Lusitanian feathers (Fernando Pessoa, Fernanda de Castro, Flobella Espanca, Antonio Ramos Rosa…) to respond to the wonderful voice and silky guitar of the composer and composer – performed by Lizzie that revisits the songs of Exile carried by Fado and Sauda. Because yes, the Portuguese rallied, conquered the seas, and later sought their fortune on the main continents. Adventurous people did not break away from these roots. The texts of poems and songs (translated) accentuate this duality: here and nowhere else, where I am and where I come from, but always with the strong juices of this demanding and nourishing land, bathed in sun and ocean. . This is the land where the sun sets into the sea, to be reborn along the hills of Extremadura. After this subtle evocation of Portuguese poetry, the Printemps des Poètes will deliver the Backpack and the Bag of Words again this Friday, 25 March at 6pm in the Media Library with the phrase “If Blue Roses Didn’t Exist”, accompanied by poet Elrik Fabre-Maigné and accordionist Didier Doliot. Free when booking on 05 63 04 72 33.
