Welcome: Les Liseuses Fabuleuses!

This is definitely something very different :)
And I will never be able to find the right picture to present them...because they are ALL about WORDS!
 - So, read below!


Les Liseuses Fabuleuses is a literary voice club revolving around Anne-Marie Segers, Wim Goossens, Kim Verthé, Isabel Voets and Carla Rosseels. The initiative was started in 2011, and was inspired by the Viennese and Parisian literary salons, as well as the film La Lectrice, about a woman who earns a living reading to people in their homes.
Les Liseuses Fabuleuses will read in all word-friendly places: offices, on promenades along the Belgian coast, in libraries, museums, cafes, on CD/DVD, in the poetry taxi. They offer packages around motley themes such as love, coffe and eternal youth, but will gladly compile new packages.
Literature is the stuff of everyday life, like eating bread and brushing teeth, which is why Les Liseuses and ist voices opt for accessible and flowing poems. All Liseuses are professionally involved with words. New at Les Liseuses are the poetry installation rentals.
So far, Les Liseuses Fabuleuses have read in Antwerp, Brussels, Gent, Ostend, Bruges, Holland, Madrid, Barcelona… But also for Flemish TV programmes such as Man Bijt Hond, on TV channel Vitaya and in supermarkets. Les Liseuses have worked and still work with, amongst others, literary organizers Behoud De Begeerte, Passa Porta International Literature Brussels, Stichting Lezen, Creatief Schrijven, Antwerpen Averechts, Fundacion Carlos de Amberes.


Stemmen. Ronde, warme, zachte stemmen. Wapperende stemmen. En dan woorden. Blote, onvervalste, mooie woorden. Gedichten die je naar adem doen happen. Verhalen die blijven plakken in je hoofd. Dat is het speelterrein van Les Liseuses Fabuleuses, een literaire stemmenclub, geïnspireerd door de romantische salons in Wenen en Parijs, en door de film La lectrice.
En wat is dan wel de bedoeling? Uw bibliotheek, museum, tuinfeest, bedrijfsevenement of festival versieren met themalezingen, al dan niet met live-muziek. Kant-en-klare lezingen of maatwerk – aan u de keuze. Misschien gaat u voor de Poëzietaxi of voor een poëzie-installatie – alles kan.
Food for the soul – voor minder doen we het niet. Taalplezier van de bovenste plank.
