Épisode 4, Les hôtels

from Retour au Caire - Back To Cairo Hosted by Carole Potier

These travel journals are like small suitcases, brimming with the city's palpitations: whispers, seething sounds, uncertain detours and surprising corners. Paper, pencil and pen sketch out the time being recounted, the time of present memories and stories both lived and imagined. A dialogue between three characters: a narrator, a reader, and an author; a female author and a female reader; and a musical, sonic author: the Cairo journals! A podcast produced and edited by Carole Potier; original texts and narration by Jérôme Bettant. Contact: [email protected] Painting: Mireille Wagner Introductory text: Fabienne Cattin & Carole Potier Ces carnets de voyage sont de petites valises qui se gorgent et se nourrissent des palpitations de la ville : murmures, bouillonnements, détours incertains et recoins surprenants. Le papier, le crayon et le stylo dessinent le temps raconté, celui des souvenirs présents et des histoires vécues ou imaginées. Un dialogue à trois personnages : un narrateur, lecteur, auteur; une autrice, une lectrice; une autrice musicale et sonore : les carnets du Caire ! Un podcast produit et réalisé par Carole Potier; textes originaux et lecture, Jérôme Bettant.
