She offers you her archipelago, Julie Gilbert. This Tuesday, at La Bâtie-Festival de Genève, this Franco-Swiss author will welcome the crowd to the blackcurrant sorbet walls of the Villa Bernasconi. On a table on the ground floor, 20 vintage telephones as in Eight Women by François Ozon, with handset and wheel, will call for an uprising. On the first floor, 20 other megaphones promise the same infusion. Grab the receiver, reader: all against you will pass the dissidence of a writer, Martiniquaise Paulette Nardal, Geneva Grisélidis Réal, Virginia Woolf…
A dream of a sound library, wall-passing as it should be, enriched until Thursday with performances by artists. Julie Gilbert will sit you down that afternoon in the villa’s student kitchen. “Five years ago, the La Fureur de lire festival in Geneva offered me carte blanche. Starting from the observation that we know little about women of the pen, I imagined a device that would bring them back to life. I am sensitive to the question of ghosts, to what it suggests as a bridge between the real and the invisible. The telephone makes it possible to make this connection.
