FESTIVAL BOOKS & MUSIC
The Books & Music Festival of Deauville is fifteen years of creative encounters, where words and notes intertwine to reveal their common and mutual inspirations. On the occasion of the anniversary of May 1968, the Festival examines the way in which literature and music have accompanied the great movements of revolt. The program will put the spotlight on protest literature and music.

Every spring, the Deauville Books & Music Festival honors writers inspired by music. Dozens of authors and musicians animate this Festival on a different theme for each edition.

15 YEARS, THE AGE OF POSSIBLE
In 2018, the Books & Music Festival celebrates its 68th anniversary! Fifteen years is adolescence, the age of possibilities, of dreams, of metamorphosis. It is the time of no, of protest. And artists, writers, musicians have their part to play in the art of revolt. It is to this aesthetic and subjective fresco that the Festival will echo: an evocation of this part of ourselves, always alive, by honoring the literatures and music of protest. A nod to the fifty years of the events of May XNUMX.
