EVENT DESCRIPTION:

The Teatro della Pergola in collaboration with Manifattura Tabacchi returns with the Poetry Consultations. It begins with a free dialogue and ends with the reading of a poem chosen specifically for each person. At the end of the consultation, the text of the poem and a tailor-made "poetic prescription" are sent. 

 Consultations are completely free, and accessible until the limit of available places is reached. Imagined by director Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota, director of the Théâtre de la Ville, and author Fabrice Melquiot, Poetry Consultations are moments of 20-minute individual exchanges with an artist, which take place face-to-face or by telephone. This project, launched in January 2020, continues today to bring together artists and cultural institutions in Europe and around the world. To date, it has mobilized more than 250 artists of 28 nationalities, united in an ensemble: the Troupe de l'Imaginaire. 18 countries are partners in the initiative and so far over 30,000 consultations have been held worldwide. The Teatro della Pergola was the first international partner to join this project.
