This
year Alliance

and
Illustrators
Ireland
are
celebrating 6 years of partnership in
presenting the Comic
Book Festival /
Fête
de l’Illustration & de la Bande
Dessinée,
with the support of the French
Embassy in Ireland.
Our mutual goal has been to bring
together French
and Irish talents to showcase the growing
platform of comics, graphic
novels
and narrative
art.
With the French reputation for outstanding
visual language, and the Irish history of storytelling, this blending
of talents is sure to result in a festival of exciting international
comics work.
From 11 to 15 May the
Festival will host a
series
of online events including discussions, live readings, a screening and
children’s
creative workshops.

Episode 5 on 13 May

Discover
every month on our YouTube a new episode of Vois-tu Gab...,
an original 7-part
literary series created by Franck Berthier for
Alliance Française Dublin.
Franck
Berthier is a French
actor,
stage
director,
teacher
and author.
While appearing as a guest during our Franco-Irish Literary Festival in
2019, Franck was overwhelmed by the memory
of a youthful romance with the Irish actress Gabrielle Reidy.
Upon his return he dived into a hundred
letters sent by Gabrielle and felt the uncontrollable urge to respond. In Vois-tu
Gab... Franck
reminisces
and replies to the late actress, trying to establish an impossible conversation
that defies time.

The French
Library's
En cuisine invites you to a step-by-step cooking
demonstration
of an easy but tasty traditional French dish.
For
the 4th edition, the Library team will show you how to prepare galettes/crêpes
bretonnes & Quatre-quarts.
The Crêpe bretonne
is a traditional dish in
Brittany which can be made of wheat (sweet crêpe) or
buckwheat (savoury crêpe)
and may be eaten plain, or filled. The dish will be
complimented perfectly by Quatre-quarts,
a Breton cake
which takes its name (literally
"four quarters") from
the fact that its four ingredients (flour, sugar, butter, eggs) are
used in equal quantity.
The list of ingredients
and materials will be sent beforehand so that everyone can cook and taste
together!

The Sieste
Musicale is back on Zoom! This month we’re taking you to Angoulême and its
region for
a 1-hour auditory
journey!
Our librarian will take you on an immersive
audio tour around some of the most hidden gems
of the Comic Book capital of the World, from its ramparts to its museums,
enriched
by
iconic tunes celebrating the region’s beauty.
We recommend making
yourself com- fortable, in a sofa, armchair or bed, to
completely enjoy the experience. A unique occasion to dream,
maybe sleep,
and to get fully
energized again
after your day!
