The 13th edition of Rencontres will take place \u2009from July 15 to September 30, 2022, in 12 municipalities, towns and host parks in the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula on the theme \u201cRadical hope.\u201d According to Rencontres\u2019 executive and artistic director, Claude Goulet, \u201cthis theme rose up as a cry of hope to express in a loud and clear way the urgency and the need to create, as an assertion of the necessity to act with regard to the environment, to living together, to inequalities, when confronted with a global cynicism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Here, in greater detail, is what inspired \u201cRadical hope,\u201d in the shape of a manifesto on the subject of creation.<\/p>\n
Creating is the best of ways for affirming that the arts are well and truly alive.
\nCreating is the best of ways for confirmer that culture and art are essential objects.
\nCreating is the best of ways for celebrating the presence of art in our lives.
\nCreating is the best of ways for resisting.<\/p>\n
Creating is the best of ways for conveying news of ourselves.
\nCreating is the best of ways for claiming the infinite horizon as one\u2019s own.
\nCreating is the best of ways for breaking the silence, solitude.
\nCreating is the best of ways for fighting human stupidity, racism and injustices.<\/p>\n
Creating is the best of ways for reminding ourselves of the fragility of the planet.
\nCreating is the best of ways for bringing out the light.
\nCreating is the best of ways for calming our minds and helping us live better together.
\nCreating is the best of ways for celebrating poetry!<\/p>\n
