Delve into the heart of literary trajectories, explore their unexpected connections and the cross-influences that shape them: this is the invitation offered by Littératures en résonance, a series of free events where text dialogues with other art forms.

Too often confined to editorial news or book promotions, traditional literary events trap literature in a rhythm that does not always do justice to the uniqueness of authors. En résonance offers an alternative format: a space where literary creation is conceived in relation to other artistic, intellectual, and performative sensibilities.

Rather than focusing on a single work, these encounters highlight literary connections, aesthetic clashes, and acknowledged or unexpected influences, stimulating poetic and reflective thinking in motion.

Exploring beyond borders

Literature and performance are not understood here as separate worlds, but as territories that intersect, overlap, and enrich each other. The invited authors propose daring literary combinations—for example, readings accompanied by music, dance, or sound—and reveal influences that go beyond the expected framework of traditional encounters.

This format offers a perspective on African and Afro-diasporic literature as a living space, traversed by multiple circulations, mixtures, and dialogues.

An invitation to experiment

By creating bridges between voices, texts, and artistic practices, En résonance affirms that literature is a field of experimentation, freedom, and invention. The encounters offer a broader view of literary creation, fully embracing the porosity of Afro-diasporic worlds with other traditions and forms of expression.
