poems and readings: creativity in quaranteen

During the quaranteen, some of us were able to do what they never dared to undertake, or finally closed unfinished projects; some others decided to mop in motionless darkness. Briefly said, everyone has his own method. Personnaly speaking, my mother being contamined by the COVID-19, I decided to immerse myself in Literature and Poetry so as not to lose ground or sink into madness, or worse, succumb to fear, because as would say Oscar Wilde “The worst torment is the horrible activity of the imagination”. Taking advantage of my language skills and passion for directing, I revisited French, Polish, English, German and Spanish authors. Let’s go back on these 54 visual creations. There is something for everyone. Do not hesitate to send me your comments.
