Slam-poésie / 16-year-olds reveal their reality in a slam (#337)

30 November 2011 by OffQc

Check out Le bruit des mots : slam-poésie et chroniques de polyvalente.

Thanks to Adam for pointing this out. I highly recommend this web-documentary featuring 16-year-olds, de jeunes slameurs, who put words to their life experiences and narrate them in a slam in front of their peers:

Le bruit des mots, c’est la chronique du quotidien de jeunes de 16 ans qui, dans l’ordinaire de leur école secondaire, se retrouvent plongés dans l’univers de la poésie et apprennent à apprivoiser la scène, dans tout ce qu’elle a de terrifiant, pour monter y déclamer leur slam.

You can have their words appear on the screen by clicking on Mots animés. (The words only appear when the speaker begins to déclame his slam.) Discover the different slams by clicking on the names and images on the main page, and by navigating the plan of the school up in the top right corner.

What each young person has to say is very moving and poetic; it’s a refreshing contrast to the tired old refrain we hear too often today from some people about the “poor” quality of young people’s language.

Listen to the slams here.
