A poet and novelist, Olivier Cadiot is above all an inventor of literature who handles words as well as situations with a totally musical dexterity and makes genres dance by giving them a boost. As the pages are turned, his teeming and exhilarating writing is shared, but also on the stage, whether in a theatre, an opera house or even at rock concerts. A brilliant reader of his own prose, Olivier Cadiot plunges us into the singular universe built through his writings, like a Robinson Crusoe of modern times. He was associate artist at the Festival d'Avignon in 2010.
