When Monique Rey's poetry marries René Bersier's photography
ENTRETIEN, Loris S. Musumeci | Nous sommes face à deux grands personnages, en dépit de leur humilité et de leur discrétion. Monique Rey consacre sa vie à la transmission de la culture et la création poétique; René Bersier est un photographe dont le travail contribue fortement au paysage artistique helvétique. La rencontre de ces deux passionnés remonte à bien des années. Ce qui les a menés à réaliser des livres alliant la poésie de l’une à la photographie de l’autre pour offrir au lecteur – ou peut-être au spectateur – des ouvrages de grande qualité, dont la promenades entre les pages émeut qui sait s’y immerger.

Jaha Koo, committed performer and creator of multimedia theater
Swiss stages often open up to other actors and directors from all over the world. And here we find the rare pearls of today's and tomorrow's theater. The forty-third edition of Geneva's La Bâtie festival welcomed an intriguing personality in the person of Jaha Koo. Originally from South Korea, this artist presents a multimedia theater at the crossroads of his personal trajectory, history and socio-political issues. An actor-creator, performer, video artist and musical composer, Jaha Koo has arrived in Geneva with his creation Cuckoo. It features him accompanied by three rice cookers from South Korea's popular Cuckoo brand. Gifted with words, the three cookers recount their problems and, interspersed with the artist and the video, plunge us into South Korean history, that of the 1997 financial crisis which, even today, has left its mark on Korean society. With this interview, Le Regard Libre takes you to meet the man who will undoubtedly go down as one of the great theatre-makers of this century.
