The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève is pleased to welcome François Gremaud as part of the Spoke Worlds program, conceived in collaboration with Fabienne Radi and Emmanuelle Pireyre, both authors and teachers in charge of the two writing workshops run at the HEAD – Geneva. The Spoken Worlds series of events invite you to immerse yourself in the plural practices of reading. These evenings hope to develop, thanks to a community of voices, invigorating paths of reflection.

Whether working alone or with others, François Gremaud’s 2b company is his trademark. (Co-)author, (co-)actor, (co-)director, he likes to place himself on the side of the idiots, in the philosophical sense of the term: those who, with their amused gaze, tell us what is going on. If he uses laughter, it’s to better understand his main subject – human beings – and their prodigious capacity to do, despite the tragedy of their condition. For him, joy is more than just nature. It’s his signature, both artistic and political.

For the event, François Gremaud will present a 30-minute performance reading of “Pondre un neuf” (event in French).
