A highlight of the Sévigné Year, centered around words and letters: eloquence competitions, improvisations, slam poetry…
In a scenographic tour themed around words and letters, visitors will be surprised to encounter, throughout the castle's rooms, readings and recitations of excerpts from letters, improvisations, slam poetry, theatrical sketches… A sonic and poetic immersion that will fill the monument for a weekend. It's also an opportunity to enjoy games specially created for the occasion with family and friends!
The entertainment (included in the entrance ticket)
Whispers of the Wave : Slam poets welcome you to the castle, where the words of yesterday meet those of today. From declarations to verbal jousts, experience all the emotions of slam poetry.
The alleyway is heavenly in itself : come and meet Madame de Sévigné and her son Charles, who honors us with his presence in Grignan. Around the bed, the alleyway unfolds: mother and son share stories of their lives, their adventures, and the customs and tastes of the 17th century. Immerse yourself in the witty banter of the Grand Siècle.
Burger Marquizz : two wacky presenters await you on their (almost) TV set. They're ahead of their time. Become a player on Antenne 2 Grignan and try your luck at winning the grand prize!
Letter reading : listen to the letters of Madame de Sévigné, read aloud by an actress and a storyteller. The writing style of this author will become all the more familiar to you.
Cinema Radio : Come around the table and speak into the microphone of the cinema radio. Participatory workshop.
With La compagnie le Ciel en Soi, Les murmures de l'Onde, Les Excités, La Radio du cinéma…
