About
Beyond its musical and technical possibilities, the clarinet possesses a rich history, intimately linked to the evolution of musical repertoires and styles.
Created by the National Book Center and supported by the Ministry of Culture, the Night of Reading is a national event that celebrates, every year in January, the pleasure of reading in all its forms. In 2027, the Night of Reading highlights the theme of childhood.
Through readings, voices, and stories, these two evenings invite you to rediscover childhood in all its richness: the imagination, dreams, fears, discoveries, but also the questions it poses about the world around it. Classic and contemporary texts will be given voice and space by the students, to share with the public the power and poetry of stories from yesterday and today.
The tenth and eleventh-grade S2TMD Theater students from Lycée Lamartine, in partnership with the Conservatoire Nadia et Lili Boulanger, are actively participating in this national event. They select texts, work on voice delivery and stage presence, and build a journey of sensitive and inventive readings around the theme of childhood. This project allows them to explore reading aloud, develop their interpretation, and meet the public in a privileged cultural setting.
Coordination: Elsa Saladin-Benattar
Our take on this event
Rediscover the magic of childhood through the art of storytelling. Students take the stage to breathe new life into classic and modern texts, offering an intimate and poetic journey through your earliest dreams.
The Conservatoire Municipal Nadia et Lili Boulanger presents Rêver, lire, grandir, an event celebrating the Nuit de la lecture. Over two evenings, students from the Lycée Lamartine's S2TMD Theatre department explore the theme of childhood through a curated selection of classic and contemporary texts. By blending voices and storytelling, these performances offer a unique look at the dreams, fears, and wonders of growing up. Located in the 9th arrondissement, this cultural event is completely free of charge, providing an accessible opportunity for all members of the public to experience the power of live reading in an intimate setting.
Coordinated by Elsa Saladin-Benattar, this collaboration between the Conservatoire Municipal Nadia et Lili Boulanger and the Lycée Lamartine brings a creative perspective to the national Nuit de la lecture initiative. Students in the second and first-year S2TMD Theatre tracks have developed a series of sensitive and inventive readings, focusing on the multifaceted nature of childhood, from imagination to the questions posed by the surrounding world.
The performances are scheduled for two dates: Thursday, 21 January 2027, from 19:00 to 20:30, and Saturday, 23 January 2027, from 18:00 to 19:30. Through this project, supported by the Ministry of Culture and the National Book Centre, the students refine their stage presence and oral interpretation skills. The event is free to attend, welcoming everyone to join in the exploration of these literary narratives within the 9th arrondissement.
