Trembling Worlds: Édouard Glissant

Shaking beneath the impact of unimaginable violence, where the distant past coincides with the recent past, Édouard Glissant delves deeply into the legacy of colonialism. His work offers astonishing, disruptive perspectives that articulate our shared destiny. Embracing misunderstandings and 'opacity', Glissant's work moves through poetry, theatre and philosophy, evoking a tremulous world rich in feeling and full of inescapable relationships. 'Relation' is a key concept in Glissant's thinking: a 'vibrating' connection between beings, in which insoluble differences are recognised and explored.
