Catherine Barsics

Catherine Barsics is a poet and performer. Her first book, Disparue (l’Arbre à Paroles, iF collection), is a poetic investigation inspired by a real event (finalist for the CoPo and CoPo des Lycéens Prizes 2021, the Marcel Thiry Prize 2021, and the triennial poetry prize in French by the FWB 2023). Through her performances, she delves ever deeper into the furrows of a transdisciplinary anchoring: her poetry closely intertwines with music (N E I G E, with drummer Tom Malmendier; FŒHN with cellist Hanna Kölbel), dance (with the Ublik collective) or takes the form of interventions in visual art exhibitions, with a perspective of resonance (around the works of Adrien Tirtiaux or Werner Moron at the New Space, of Tanja Mosblech and Térèse Dehin at OYOU). She primarily seeks accuracy in immediacy.
