Readings for the entire family by Eugénie Anselin, with sign language interpreting, in collaboration with the Centre de Logopédie (Speech Therapy Centre)
Eugénie Anselin offers adults and children alike a reading experience full of sensitivity and warmth. In the spirit of inclusivity and accessibility for all, German sign language interpreting will be provided, in collaboration with the Centre de Logopédie. This approach means that all children and families can fully share in the emotion of the story, however they communicate.
Actress Eugénie Anselin grew up in Germany and Luxembourg, and studied drama at the Zurich University of the Arts between 2011 and 2016. Since she was a teenager, she has been adorning stage and screen, standing out for her multilingualism.
In Luxembourg, she has played roles at the Kasemattentheater and the Luxembourg City Grand Théâtre. In 2021, she took on the leading role in La Plus Précieuse des marchandises (The Most Precious of Cargoes) at Paris's Théâtre du Rond-Point, directed by Charles Tordjman.
Notable turns on screen have included roles in Christophe Wagner's Eng nei Zäit (known in English as Tomorrow, After the War), followed by Die dunkle Seite des Mondes (The Dark Side of the Moon), Der Hauptmann (The Captain) and the comedy fantasy Dreamland.

Mardis littéraires (readings and discussion)
Nadège Sanou: Accorder les sons
Accorder les sons – a deeply intimate novel in which the writer, through fiction inspired by her real-life experiences, explores the complexity of living with a multiply handicapped child. The book tells the story of Léo, a heavily dependent young boy being raised by his father Damien after his mother abandoned the family. When Salomé comes into their lives, she discovers a daily routine shaped by care, medical appointments, doubts and moments of love that bind this atypical family together. The book invites questions about the role of caregivers, the fragility of family connections and the quiet strength which grows out of adversity. Without pathos, and with great sensitivity, Nadège Sanou gives voice to those whose voices are rarely heard, and sheds light on the often unseen reality of families living with disability.
Throughout the evening, she will read passages from her book and share reflections on the experiences that inspired the writing. The session will continue with a discussion, offering the opportunity to more deeply explore the themes addressed in the book and to engage in a dialogue about the issues of inclusion. This session, combining readings with discussion, introduces the audience to a sensitively written work, examining how we relate to language, to difference and to the multiple forms of human expression.
Nadège Sanou, who was born in Bobo‑Dioulasso in Burkina Faso and lives in Paris, works in the health and social sector. Her career has brought her into close contact with the issues surrounding dependence, vulnerability and the support of disabled people. She has also been a carer to her son-in-law, who suffers from trisomy; the experience profoundly affected the way in which she views parenthood and solidarity.
