TERRE DE POÈTES
Presentation
For its 29th edition, the Tupiniers du Vieux-Lyon Festival established a dialogue between two arts: ceramics and poetry. For two days, potters, poets and visitors have met and exchanged ideas.
In the Lazaristes’ school courtyard, among the exhibited works of the festival’s featured ceramicists, five poets came to read poetic pieces that they had written for the occasion, in front of a delighted audience.
Outside the courtyard, the market showcased five ceramicists in particular, whose work was mainly inspired by the dialogue between words and clay.
A dozen people took part in a writing workshop after a visit of the exhibition.
In the alleys of the market, the visitors left notes in the suggestion boxes of the Croix-Rousse town crier. Their messages were recited later on by the town crier, during loud and spectacular public announcements.
On Saturday evening, the "Syndicat des poètes qui vont mourir un jour" presented a poetic performance at La Maison des Passages.
The festival ended with a tombola, giving away two of the exhibited pieces made by the guest ceramic artists.
A very exciting program!
