Co-produced by La Cité Nantes Congress Centre and Le Lieu Unique, Nantes national stage
Since it was founded in 2013, the annual Atlantide, Les Mots du Monde à Nantes, Festival des littératures, gathers around fifty international and French writers. During four days, the authors and artists share the words of the world and address major societal issues. There is literary material for everyone’s taste, texts and drawings, and visitors are invited to immerse themselves in big literature works and discover new talents.
« I consider unusual encounters, places, trips, authors and writing as a means to fertilize a humanism where the imagination would be as colorful as the rainbow and push us to question ourselves. «
— Alain Mabanckou, Le monde est mon langage
