Opening night : a multilingual evening with performed readings

Resistance is often spoken of as a serious act, a refusal, a struggle, or a battle.
We want to start from a different place, to explore other forms of resistance—those underlying our identities, our outbursts, and our turmoil. Because to resist is also to continue desiring. To continue creating. To continue laughing. To continue writing despite everything.

Joy is not the opposite of anger; it can accompany anger in its irreverence.
Precariousness, for its part, is not merely a lack of money. It is also the fragility of bodies, rights, languages, and memories. It is living in worlds where certain existences are constantly called into question. And yet, it is often from these margins that the most inventive forms of creation emerge. The artists we welcome know this; they are the very embodiment of it.
None of these people tells exactly the same story. Yet their works converge in a shared intuition: our vulnerabilities are not flaws to be hidden, but starting points from which to invent other worlds.

This opening will explore poetry, literature, performance, activism, desire, love, anger, and celebration.
Because we believe that revolutions are not born solely in protests or assemblies.
They are also born in the books we write in defiance of censorship.
In the languages we refuse to abandon.
In the bodies that keep dancing when everything demands they disappear.
In the communities that care for one another even as everything pushes toward isolation.

Joy is not a reward after the revolution.
It is already a way of bringing it about.
