With France Culture

Every summer, France Culture takes over the courtyard of the Musée Calvet for a week of readings, poetry, philosophy, and creative works. In harmony with the Avignon Festival’s program, its history, and the highlights of this year’s edition, France Culture is focusing this year on the big questions that literature poses to us. As is the case every year, iconic works will be performed by actors and actresses, alongside authors, musicians, and artists invited for the occasion.

Presentation

A cursed rabbit-shaped lamp brings ruin upon a family. A woman is haunted by a creature born from her own waste. Blending genres—magical realism, fantasy, cruel tale or body horror—these striking Korean stories unleash boundless imagination while offering a sharp diagnosis of the neuroses of our societies.

Distribution

With the artistic participation of the Jeune Théâtre National
Directed by Baptiste Guiton
Translated from Korean by Han Yumi and Hervé Péjaudier, published by Rivages
