10 Treurenberg, 1000 Brussels
Lea Nagy and Borbála Kulin are the Hungarian participants of the Transpoesie poetry festival focusing on multilingualism, emerging once more for its 13th edition in September with a fresh new theme: Taking Back the Stage!
Transpoesie 2023: Take Back the Stage celebrates the unique relationship between poetry, nature and architecture, creating living environments that inspire and ignite the imagination highliting as well the unique, seductive, and evocative creations of the Art Nouveau period in a very special way.
This year Transpoesie will amplify female voices in European poetry in joining the celebration of Art Nouveau in Brussels, adding their own poetic angle to it. We are creating a series of unforgettable events, featuring female poets from all over Europe, in beautiful, surprising, secret, and unexpected locations throughout the city. Transpoesie is not just about stage performances or taking back the public space. It's about bringing people together to experience the magic of poetry in a unique and unforgettable way. Our festival celebrates the power of words, the beauty of nature, and the vital role that women play in shaping our society and the world.
The TRANSPOESIE website and the printed festival materials will contribute to raising awareness of the diversity of languages by providing a visible platform for their poetic expression.
From 26 to 30 September in Brussels and online: @Transpoesie and http://transpoesie.eu/.
