Projection du film documentaire « Sur la route des clochards célestes », de Brigitte Cornand, suivi de la conférence « La vie, l’instant », par Francis Marmande

Mercredi 29 mai 2013 à 19h30
Francis Marmande interroge les relations entre la Beat Generation et le Jazz. Il se penche également sur cette « science de l'improvisation qui permet d'atteindre la pensée immédiate », qu'il s'agisse de musique ou de littérature. Les poètes et écrivain Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferghinletti et d'autres ont croisé les routes des jazzmen Bird, Bud Freeman, Thelonious Monk et Miles Daviset même de l'excellent Clint Eastwood. C'est donc d'écoute, de folie, d’inspiration et de rencontre, de drogues et de mots qu'il s'agit.
