Musical reading with OTTiLiE [B], Esplanade Theatre, Draguignan

Théâtre de l'Esplanade

On Saturday 17 April the Théâtre de l'Esplanade in Draguignan hosts OTTiLiE [B] & Guest, a musical reading staged during the EntreLivres book festival. The listing describes OTTiLiE [B] as an artist who loves artistic encounters and calls on her music, sounds and voice to collide and merge with other arts. For this project she was given time for research and a residency with an author, and the result is a musical reading, a hybrid and friendly approach that mixes words, literature, music, voices and sounds. The name of the writer is to be revealed at the 2027 edition of the festival, so part of the evening is a surprise. Entry is free but you must reserve a seat through the theatre's ticketing page. The text is in French, and the listing gives an age of 14 and over. It starts at 19:00 and ends about 20:00. «OTTiLiE [B] & GUEST» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:00.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
