Drôles de poésies – Poetry Performance
Poetry takes a playful turn in a staged performance that brings together different periods, styles and moods. With humour, lightness and imaginative delivery at its heart, the presentation draws on around thirty poems to show how expressive spoken verse can be when presented as a shared theatrical experience.
🎭 What to expect
Confirmed performers Chantal Bertrand, Hélène Gastaud and Patrick Mégevand present the selected poetry in three voices, with the collaboration of Jacques Burnouf. The official Monaco notice describes a variety of texts from different eras and styles, linked by a lively and humorous approach.
Touches of music accompany the spoken interpretations, adding another expressive dimension to the performance. The organisers have not published a poem-by-poem running order, so the programme should be approached as a curated sequence rather than a set list of specifically announced authors.
📅 Event details
The format combines three-voice readings, brief musical accompaniment and varied poetic writing. The programme is intended to move between humour, whimsy and light-hearted discovery, offering a cultural encounter different from a formal academic poetry lecture.
