Reading by Pascal Normann

Pascal Nordmann

Capture the information. Grab the thread, then rewind. 2023, 2022, 2021, the years go by with their share of anguish, havoc, disaster and anguish… from one end of the planet to the other. What if all the world’s media and newspapers suddenly began to present this reality, which is losing its meaning, bomb after bomb, in its poetic guise?

In the author’s own words, the Fil info can first and foremost serve as a return to the past. The events mentioned come from our most concrete reality, and each of us still remembers this or that event that made the headlines, before falling back into obscurity just as quickly. Le Fil info responds to this by offering a series of dated, daily prose poems that take these anecdotes and turn them on their head. They offer a way of traveling back in time, questioning what was, at the time, our preoccupying current affairs with humor, shift and irony.

Fil info is a constant poetic experience…

Pascal Nordmann, Swiss writer, visual artist and theatre-maker, will be on hand to read a selection of these texts, published by Les Carnets du Dessert de Lune in June 2025.
