Chuchote-moi ta Poésie

10th Edition – The Happy City, March 2025

For its tenth anniversary, Chuchote-moi ta Poésie brought the city together around a theme of hope: the Happy City. Throughout March 2025, Gaillac vibrated to the rhythm of poems.

Artist Manon Crivellari was the artist in residence for this anniversary edition. She roamed the streets of Gaillac to scatter poems in unexpected places—shop windows, mailboxes, public benches, trees—and set up a "poetry nest" where residents and visitors could leave their own texts. These contributions were then transformed by the artist into poetic creations visible in the urban space, making every inhabitant a co-author of the festival.

The program combined performances, concerts, readings aloud, writing workshops for all ages, and installations in various city locations, reaffirming the festival's mission: to make poetry a shared, accessible experience rooted in daily life.
