2023 marks the 150th anniversary of Colette's birth. Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette is one of the most famous and popular French novelists. This anniversary will be celebrated with exhibitions, conferences, new publications on her work and shows.

To celebrate this anniversary, the IPW proposes a two-part event.

First, a conference with several speakers who will present and explain the uniqueness of the work and life of Colette. A work that was unpublished, even scandalous in its time.

The conference will be followed by a concert-reading about Colette and her contemporaries " Colette, Notes de tournée - un voyage musical ". Performance by and with Aurélie Namont on piano, and Véronique Elling on vocals and readings.
