Rémi David

France



Rémi David is a writer who navigates between different genres, from poetry to essays, from children’s literature to anthologies and novels. His latest book, Mourir avant que d’apparaître, explores the love story between writer Jean Genet and tightrope walker Abdallah Bentaga. In parallel to his writing practice, he acts as an artistic adviser to literary festivals, and performs magic on behalf of the charity M’Agis, which organises shows and workshops for severely disadvantaged populations.

Rémi David est un écrivain qui navigue entre différents genres, de la poésie à l’essai, en passant par la littérature jeunesse, la constitution d’anthologies et le roman. Son dernier livre, Mourir avant que d’apparaître, évoque l’histoire d’amour entre l’écrivain Jean Genet et le funambule Abdallah Bentaga. Parallèlement à sa pratique de l’écriture, il intervient comme conseiller artistique auprès de festivals littéraires et pratique la magie dans le cadre de l’association M’Agis, qui propose des spectacles et ateliers auprès de populations en grande difficulté.
