Transpoesie 2024

TRANSPOESIE celebrates surrealist poetry and linguistic diversity in Brussels from September 26 to 28, 2024 at the centenary of the birth of surrealism. Delve into poetic depths where dreams, reality, and revolutionary spirit intertwine. Embrace the surrealist ethos and see how these poets shape a new world redefining humanity through aesthetic, philosophical depths, or revolutionary spirit.

Be ready to encounter poets with an urge to shock, depict the fantastic, the impossible, the magic, different forms of infinite freedom, desire, and reject logical reason. Join this surrealist extravaganza from Thursday September 26 to Saturday 28 for lunchtime debates, thought provoking performances, and poetry “écriture automatique” writing sessions in the public space.
