For a few years, City Sonic offers with Sonic Garden Party to discover on a Sunday afternoon, original audio performances received in beautiful private gardens in the Belfry’s district. This intimate and friendly meeting with artists and guests will end with a cocktail offered. Resulting from an exchange between Rhizome Productions in Quebec for the literature part and Transcultures in Mons for the audio part, ‘Les Transatlantiques (long courrier)’ get together writers and audio artists from Belgium and Quebec. Four performances (around 20 minutes each) have been developed through exchanges until the live meeting, on stage in a first time at le Mois de la Poésie in March 2013 in Québec and in a second time for City Sonic in the garden of Mons with four surprising and inspired duets: Hervé Bouchard and Stephan Ink, Werner Moron and Erick d’Orion, Jean Marc Desgent and Gauthier Keyaerts, Sebastian Dicenaire and Martin Treteault.
