SpokenWord Paris

“…a flawed character. Greatly talented, passionate, full of venomous distaste for society and social institutions, lacking all respect for rank and privilege. Thwarted in love by social constraint or death, condemned to exile for rebellion. Hides an unsavoury past. Arrogant, overconfident, lacking foresight. Ultimately, acts in a self-destructive manner.”

Spoken Word is lying on a beach somewhere, dangling its toes in the turquoise sea until September.

It may return to Paris at short notice for excursions to Culture Rapide/Cabaret Populaire at http://www.culturerapide.com/index2

9pm Tuesday 24th June at The Highlander. 8 rue de Nevers Metro Pont Neuf/Saint Michel.

Poems, stories, monologues, dialogues, songs, etc. sought for the next Spoken Word. Off-topic stuff also welcome.

Fragments you’ve collected, insights, dreams, tales, accounts of what you’ve gained or lost on the way… life is a journey; those who swim against the tide of time are lost, they retain nothing and regret it in the end.

Voyage. Amenez tous les textes vous pouvez trouvez avec un lien sur le sujet, ou meme sans lien… vos textes ou les textes des autres que vous aimez… et que vous allez lire et interpretre! Les histoires, les reves, les fragments disparus, les carnets de voyage, les chansons… tous!

21h mardi le 24 juin

In a weird room carved with faces, having waded through flooded tunnels, seen bones, and flowstone, yellow stalactites the colour of nicotine-stained fingers, passages whose rooves were held up with Victorian wood swallowed by calcification & the permanent drip of limestone, two hours underground after the abandoned railway tunnel we found… Bex, reading a poem.
