Founded in September 2022 by Robin Faymonville and Clarisse Michaux, Littérature Supersport is a collective that organizes evenings of performed readings, both within institutions and in other venues. Keen to respond to the new forms that contemporary writing is taking, the collective focuses on the interplay between spoken word, textual performance, and electronic music.

Our speakers
Bulie Jordeaux
Bulie Jordeaux, a Brussels-based producer, is known for her unique approach to electronic music and deviant pop. She incorporates dub, post-punk, and eclectic sounds, and composes primarily using Ableton, synthesizers, and a microphone. Her music is characterized by rich and varied rhythms, as well as deep basslines that anchor her tracks in hypnotic soundscapes. She has been performing live with her solo project for several years.
Xavier Dubois
Guitarist Xavier Dubois, of the band Ultraphallus, also performs in a duo with writer Vincent Tholomé; a book-CD, under the name Kaapshljmurslis, was published in 2017 by Tétras Lyre. For several years, he has also been developing a solo repertoire under his own name. His latest album, Murmurations, was released in June 2021.Literature is central to his inspiration; the concision—sometimes abrupt—of poet François Jacqmin, the singular syntax of Peter Kurzeck, the fluid phrasing of László Krasznahorkai, and the hypnotic flow of Marc Graciano nourish his approach as much as the music of the Norwegian band Mayhem, guitarist Derek Bailey, Coil, or composer Giacinto Scelsi. His writing tends toward compositions made of interwoven segments, contrapuntal phrases, silences, and repetitions. of an impossible balance between harmony and atonality.
Vincent Tholomé
Born in 1965, Vincent Tholomé often describes himself as a writer-performer. As a writer, he has authored some fifteen books that blend poetry and fiction, spoken language, and the ancient art of “racontouze.” Since the mid-1990s, he has published regularly in magazines and online. As a performer, he has appeared—solo, in duos, and in other formats—all over the world (France, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, Quebec, and the U.S.). In 2011, The John Cage Experiences received the Triennial Poetry Prize from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
Debora Levyh
Debora Levyh was born in 1988. After pursuing a career in architecture, she now creates installations and non-narrative fiction. She is interested in communities of practice, possible forms of life, non-normative sensibilities, the unspeakable and the unspoken, the psychotropic effects of speech, and the concrete materiality of language. She works alone, as part of a duo (Les Aethers), and as part of a collective (Prairie permanente). She lives in Brussels and most often travels without actually moving from one place to another.
