Poesie Plus

Show & Culture

Poesie Plus is a three-day literature and performance festival that explores the intersections between literature, music, movement arts, and visual arts. Designed as a space for experimentation and participation, the festival invites artists and audiences to discover new ways of experiencing literature. The multidisciplinary program enables exploration of new literary and performative practices. Participation is central to the festival through experimental formats, especially with the projects Porte Parole and Hôte Voix. Porte Parole transforms Esch’s public spaces into a collective writing workshop: poetic invitations throughout the city invite passersby to contribute to a poem shaped by the voices of the community. Hôte Voix invites Esch residents to host intimate readings by festival authors in their own homes, making their living space a venue for encounters between artists and the public.
