Catalan days 2024

Céline VALETTE — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 12:00:35 +0000

During Catalan days, both Catalan identity and its history are celebrated. Far from the clichés too often conveyed, it covers different cultural aspects. As an author, I never felt trapped in the past in these places, quite the contrary. In each of my writings, I seek to connect to a city or another country and almost like magic it succeeds each time.

For Fantastic L.A, I started by reading an article related to a historical fact in local history. A point I developp in my masterclass. Then, perhaps because I write fiction and fantasy, I said to myself…what is the most improbable thing you could do? to this question my inner voice answered me: look for a distant town that might seem the opposite of Thuir. So I chose Los Angeles. That’s when I discovered that there are always more things that bring us together than we initially believe. Palm trees, Hollywood cinema and all other artists around the world.

I will be present on July 19, 2024 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Catalan days which will take place in Thuir at the Villa Palauda.

Thank you to the organizers, the circle of authors of 66 and the public.

It was a beautiful sunny day where we were surrounded by a natural area.
