Founded 20 years ago and settled in Sète for 8 years now, the Festival is very happy to present a first edition in Palestine and to host numerous poets from all the Mediterranean in the city, for a duration of 4 days. It wishes to open, to a large number of people, a broader territory of poetry, thereby inviting the public to discover contemporary poetry, to hear different cultures that own a comm
on geography and history regardless of the present tensions and tragedies. Voix Vives, a Festival from Mediterranean to Mediterranean
Although it is mainly dedicated to the poets coming from all parts of the Mediterranean (Latin countries, Balkans, Eastern parts, North Africa), the Festival is also open to all of the Mediterranean cultures around the world that history has "exported" overseas: South and Central Americas, West or East Africa, Francophony countries… Within this geographically broad platform the words of the poets, being immediately authentic, favour meeting and sharing.
