Based in between Paris and New York City, Jérôme Game is a French author of 9 collections of poems, several CDs of sound poetry, a DVD of videopoems, and 6 volumes of essays. Salle d’embarquement, his first novel, came out last fall (L’Attente, 2017). Also shown in exhibitions as visual/textual installations, his poetry explores the shapes and flows of contemporary experience via those of discourses, narratives and images. Often collaborating with musicians, stage directors, and visual artists for collective performances, he regularly gives public readings of his work in Europe, North Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Later this year Flip-Book & other poems, a volume of English translations of his work, will come out in London with Barque Press (translated by Barbar Beck, with a preface by Nadja Cohen), and Ovni(s), the play he co-wrote, will premiere at the Avignon Festival in July 2018. www.jeromegame.com

Né en 1959 à Pau, Didier Bourda mène un travail d’écriture qui lui fait rassembler des matériaux hétérogènes, tant géographiques, ethnologiques, anthropologiques, politiques, sociologiques, historiques, linguistiques. De cette pluralité des sources naissent des textes qui fonctionnement par strates dont il s’attache à discerner les glissements. Certains ont parlé « d’une pensée non plus segmentée, atomisée, disjonctive mais profondément reliée, reliante ». Humour, précision dans son décryptage au plus près, au scalpel, une sorte de neutralité dans le regard, sont sa marque de fabrique. Il produit également des objets-video minimalistes avec le designer sonore Martin Antiphon et le plasticien Dimitri Vazemsky. Ce travail le conduit à définir un rapport non carné au texte (projection, écoute au casque) qui privilégie l’anti-spectacle. Quinze années de compagnonnage néanmoins avec la scène, souvent en duo avec l’accordéoniste improvisateur Jesus Aured. Il est Directeur artistique de Poésie dans les chais (64) depuis 2003.
