Live reading of texts created during the Sensibles Futures workshop, with author Ketty Steward.

Retour au Pays Létal (Return to the Land of Death) is an auto-sci-fi short story in which the main character, based on the author’s image of themself, finds themself in an imagined future world, a world in a state of catastrophe.

This public reading is an opportunity to discover an original science fiction story conceived during the author-led writing workshop. Using a methodology that invites personal and collective exploration, participants imagined a future through a character based on their own reflections. Open to the general public, this reading offers a dive into a world built together, where introspection and collaboration lead to a unique and compelling story, conceived especially for this festival.
