We are pleased to be partnering with the Salon du livre de l’Outaouais for the first time since 2020, when the pandemic forced the collaboration to be put on hold. There’s a full schedule of events planned for this important cultural landmark, which will be taking place from February 22 to 25 in the Palais des congrès de Gatineau:
Thursday, February 22

Friday, February 23
- 6-7 p.m., booth #402: Signing session with Mani Soleymanlou at publisher Le Quartanier’s booth.
Saturday, February 24
- 3-3:45 p.m., Espace Théâtre: “Mise en bouche théâtrale” – Reading of an extract from Mani Soleymanlou’s play Neuf (titre provisoire), published at Le Quartanier, followed by a signing session
- 6-6:45 p.m., Place Yves-Thériault: “Le théâtre publié” – Round table on published theatre, hosted by Joël Beddows, with Jean Marc Dalpé (Prise de parole), Soleil Launière (Remue-ménage), Mishka Lavigne (L’Interligne) and Mani Soleymanlou (Le Quartanier).
In addition to these scheduled events, the NAC will have our own booth (#1127) where colleagues from all artistic disciplines will be available to chat with the public, answer questions and draw show tickets for our programming.
