HelloAsso<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\nNovelist, essayist, and journalist, Sofia Andrukhovych has established herself as an essential voice for understanding the upheavals affecting Ukraine today. Since the Russian invasion, her work has sharply examined the role of writing in the face of collapse\u2014whether intimate, historical, or political. Through her contributions to the international press, notably on France Inter and in Le Monde, she sheds sensitive and lucid light on the realities of war and its impact on collective imagination.
This event will be moderated by Thibaud Lalanne, with interpretation provided by Elisabeth Kyriakou, allowing the audience to fully engage with the richness of the exchange.<\/p>\n\n
Sofia Andrukhovych is invited on the occasion of the French publication of her major novel Amadoca. A true literary phenomenon, praised in particular at the London Book Fair, this ambitious work offers a sweeping journey through 20th-century Ukrainian history. It was recently adapted for the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre National Populaire in Villeurbanne by Jules Audry, testifying to the power and contemporary relevance of its themes. <\/p>\n\nLive Literature 2026<\/h2>\n\n This event is part of the Litt\u00e9rature Live festival<\/strong>, organized by Villa Gillet. Each year, this key event in Lyon and the Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes region brings together writers from around the world to foster dialogue between contemporary literature and the major issues of our time. Through meetings, readings, and debates, the festival invites audiences to discover international voices and explore changing perspectives on a rapidly transforming world, highlighting living, engaged, and open literature. <\/p>\n\nThis encounter also continues a reflection already initiated at the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise de Lyon, particularly with last year\u2019s invitations of Hyam Yared and Anthony Samrani. Each, in their own way, raises a fundamental question: how does one continue to write when the world is shaken, when catastrophe becomes part of everyday life?
The Alliance Fran\u00e7aise de Lyon, in partnership with the Villa Gillet, is pleased to welcome a major figure in contemporary Ukrainian literature: Sofia Andrukhovych. This exceptional event will take place on May 20, 2025, at 8:00 PM and promises to be a powerful moment of reflection and exchange on literary creation in times of crisis.
