The longest poetry festival in the world
Throughout the summer, the Arteplage Mobile du Jura hosted 23 stowaways, one per week. During this time, they gave visitors to the Arteplage Mobile du Jura the opportunity to hear voices from abroad. Voices and languages: Who knew what Slovenian, Korean or Danish sounded like? The 23 poets were at the Arteplage Mobile du Jura because - where they come from - they were among those who successfully resisted the compulsion to be politically correct. During their visit to the Arteplage Mobile du Jura, the poets repeatedly intervened in the events of the day and also gave readings. They included some very well-known contemporary poets. Over the course of the summer, they provided visitors to the Arteplage Mobile du Jura with exceptional moments of grace.
