For the 25th edition of the Literary Teas, 6 meetings with 11 great voices of literature in Quebec and the musicians who will accompany them are offered to the population from June 21 to September 14 at the Jardins de Métis.
Sunday, August 24, at 4 p.m.: Nathalie Plaat and Marie-Ève Cotton
Musical accompaniment: Émile Quimper-Bouchard, violoncelle
In collaboration with the Salon du livre de Rimouski.
Respectively a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist, Nathalie Plaat and Marie-Ève Cotton are also Authors. Both are interested in the dark side of humanity, which they question with a sensitive humanism. Nathalie Plaat published Mourir de froid, c’est beau, c’est long , c’est délicieux (PUM), a letter to her first love, whom she lost track of between schizophrenia and homelessness; Marie-Ève Cotton published Le Roi-Soleil (VLB Éditeur), a story of infanticide that calls many prejudices into question.
