Immerse yourself in the poetic world of French poet Anna Ayanoglou at our special 'Q&A, bilingual reading and Behind the Scenes of Creation' evening!

We are delighted to invite you to an immersive experience where poetry meets the intimacy of the creative process. Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of words as our artist reads her poems in French, accompanied by a reading in English for total immersion in her artistic world.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear poems in French and English specially selected for their impact and boldness. Expect a satirical critique of Paris that will pique your curiosity!

"Behind the Scenes": Discover the secrets and inspirations behind each verse. Our artist will take you behind the scenes of her writing process, sharing captivating anecdotes and the intimate context that shaped her collection. Join us for a spellbinding evening where words become bridges between cultures and human experiences.

Anna Ayanoglou is a French poet born in 1985 who lives in Brussels. For many years she taught French as a foreign language - with joy and fantasy - in Lithuania, Estonia and Belgium. Her third collection, Appartenir, is like a novel. Anna tells the story of herself and her family, from her travels in Greece (her father's country) to her life in Paris, from her torments as a young student to her trials as an adult. Appartenir is both a story of learning and a sometimes brutal, often tender, exploration of human relationships.

Anna Ayanoglou is one of the leading voices in contemporary poetry. Her previous collections have won prestigious prizes.

After the show, we'll share a convivial moment where you can exchange your impressions, talk to the artist and meet other poetry lovers over a drink.
