Parole ambulante: A Festival Dedicated to Poetic Expression

Parole ambulante is first and foremost a festival dedicated to poetic expression, to the “first voice.” Each year, the festival reinvents itself and takes over different venues across the region, bringing literature, the arts, and culture into dialogue.
The festival is guided by a core belief: the future is built through proximity, diversity of voices, and everyone’s presence.
Through its events, Parole ambulante creates spaces for encounters centered on artistic creation and invites audiences to discover different forms of expression, rooted in local communities.
An Evening of Poetry and Jazz in Lyon
As part of this new chapter of the festival, the Alliance Française de Lyon will host a jazz & poetry evening bringing together writers, artists, and musicians.
Audiences will discover the texts and creative worlds of Pierre Soletti, Louise Lambrichs, and Amel Boudali, accompanied by the Michel Fernandez Trio.
This encounter between poetic expression and jazz music offers an opportunity for discovery and shared experience, where voices and instruments respond to one another.
