If you could spend a night alone in a museum, where would you go?

Reading by Irène Jacob (actress)
An evening hosted by Marie-Madeleine Rigopoulos (journalist)

Following in the footsteps of the great writers who preceded her, author Belinda Cannone chose to spend the night at the Mucem, alone among the works. The result is an intimate story, part exploration of her Mediterranean identity, part journey towards understanding another part of her origins. To celebrate the release of her book Venir d’une mer, the Mucem is organizing “Une nuit au musée en mer Méditerranée”: an evening of exchanges with the public, including a reading of excerpts from the book by Irène Jacob and a meeting between Belinda Cannone, Kaouther Adimi and Diane Mazloum (both of whom are also authors of stories published in the “Ma nuit au musée” collection).

An evening organized in collaboration with Éditions Stock.
