Artists Spring

Meet Benoît Peeters, author of "A Lover's Dictionary of Comics." A screenwriter, writer, editor, and exhibition curator, he has a deep and personal connection with the ninth art, dating back to his childhood.
This "Loving Dictionary" reflects the stages of his career and his affinities, creating a dialogue between Franco-Belgian classics and bold, experimental works. Far from being exhaustive, it opens the door to new discoveries within a constantly evolving landscape.

June's guest
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt will be the guest of honor at the next Cercle.
In his book "Just After God, There Is Dad," the writer explores the complex relationship between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his father, Leopold Mozart.
The novel retraces the intense bond between this father and his prodigious son: absolute admiration in childhood, demanding transmission of knowledge, and then estrangement as the son's genius surpasses that of the master. Between profound love, awkwardness, and hurt, their relationship evolves toward a kind of rupture, without ever completely severing the bond that unites them — music.
Through this story, the author offers a sensitive and universal reflection on lineage, transmission, and the price of freedom.
