Suite au fulgurant succès de l’édition 2007 avec Richard Desjardins comme invité
d’honneur, on se demandait ce que la 7e cuvée du Festival Voix d’Amériques
(FVA) réservait pour aller encore plus loin… En offrant une programmation audacieuse,
le FVA a une fois de plus remporté son pari et mobilisé un public nombreux, curieux,
solidaire et festif!
Spoken word, poetry, performance, music… and a sense of history!

Winter has been a little crazy the last seven years, and Les Filles électriques is
definitely responsible for a few degrees of intensity! Since 2002, Montreal has been
plugged into the Festival Voix d’Amériques (FVA) celebrating performance text, spoken
word and the risk of language. This year, the FVA runs February 1 to
8, the seventh edition of this electrifying production by Les Filles
électriques.
Moving between the Sala Rossa and the Casa del Popolo, with one incursion to Ex
Centris, this 7th FVA brings together more than 100 artists, in English and French,
to perform for playful audiences in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. We have a
special treat for Montreal this year in our guest of honour, New York poet
John Giorno, who has been a leading figure in performance
poetry for more than 50 years! John Giorno will perform on three consecutive nights -
solo, with francophone poets, and with anglophone poets.
