Three Men Talking

Three Men Talking (Radio Play)

Jeudi 23 février 2023

En préambule au Franco-Irish Literary Festival qui se déroulera du 24 au 26 mars à Dublin, l’Alliance Française de Dublin, l’Ambassade de France en Irlande et le CCI ont le plaisir de proposer cette soirée unique dédiée à la poésie déclamée, réunissant des slameurs de nos deux pays.

Côté français : le jeune duo angevin 21g, né en 2017 d’un amour commun de Jean-Baptiste Lesaffre et Arthur Charrier pour l’écriture. Avec comme maîtres mots simplicité et élégance, ce duo au carrefour du slam, du rap et de la poésie recherche le beau dans le quotidien. Le Dublinois Stephen James Smith, quant à lui, est un artiste majeur de spoken word. Ses vidéos - dont la captivante performance « My Ireland » - ont rassemblé plus de 3 millions de vues. Stephen se produit régulièrement sur de prestigieuses scènes irlandaises (National Concert Hall, Abbey Theatre…).

Ce soir, les artistes nous diront leurs textes, avant de s’entretenir avec l’universitaire Jean-Philippe Imbert autour de la langue et la musicalité des mots.

In the lead up to the Franco-Irish Literary Festival which takes place in Dublin from 24 to 26 March, the Alliance Française, the Embassy of France in Ireland and the CCI are delighted to present this evening of spoken word performance with slammers from both our countries.

The French duo Jean-Baptiste Lesaffre and Arthur Charrier hail from Angers where they began performing together as ‘21g’ in 2017. Their elegant writing reflects not just the realities but also the poetic beauty of every day life. The great Irish spoken word artist Stephen James Smith has appeared on Ireland’s most prestigious stages (National Concert Hall, Abbey Theatre…) and his videos – including the captivating ‘My Ireland’ – have now exceeded 3 million views.

Following their performances, the artists discuss language and the musicality of words with DCU lecturer Jean-Philippe Imbert.
