ROUEN Body of texts

The people of Rouen bring the text to life in this second edition of Corps de textes, (festival des écritures en scène): Genet and Minyana, as well as authors and poets from Russia, Greece and Australia, including the highly publicised Daniel Keene. Corps de textes is also programming the fantastic Dehazing, deadly comedy by Jean-Michel Rabeux, and a performance by the strange and sexual David Noir, 16 à nez noir: "We're in a theatre. A theatre completely wanked to the hand; the mechanics of a painful, shameful pleasure. You can show it off, exhibit it, but it's how it's done, by a single, slightly childish individual, in its room." Welcome to David Noir's bedroom...

Corps de textes, from 3 May to 18 June, at the Théâtre des Deux Rives, Rouen.
