Author: Jacques Rebotier
The poet Jacques Rebotier has written, in particular: Sortir de ce corps (Créaphis), Le moment que (Spectres familiers), L'attente (Æncrages), Le désordre des langages, 1, 2 et 3 (Les Solitaires intempestifs), L’empierreuse, (Harpo et), Litaniques (Gallimard), Le dos de la langue (Gallimard). His Théâtre was published by Solitaires intempestifs. Author and director, Rebotier creates pieces that are disturbing yet joyous, combining writing that is demanding with regard to freshness, or rather, the incongruous: writing that refuses to blend in. He founded the voQue company: voice, invocation, and equivocation, where poetry, photo-romances, performance-readings, theatre-installations, dance, and music all intermingle.
