DREAMS, LANGUAGE and POETRY: Oct 25, 5-7 pm Alliance française de Pasadena
DREAMS, LANGUAGE and POETRY: a conversation with the trilingual poet, translator and actress HELENE CARDONA, on her latest book “Le Songe de mes Ames Animales/ Dreaming My Animal Selves.”
We will explore bridging languages and cultures and discuss literature, poetry, translation, theatre and cinema, dream work, and the quest for spirituality and expansion of consciousness.
Moderated by Dr. Michele Druon.

DREAMING MY ANIMAL SELVES is an intriguingly surreal journey through myth, legend, fantasy, and more – all guided by a shape-shifting narrator searching far and wide for cosmic unity within the discontinuous landscape of dream and the dreamy, fragmented quality of the everyday world. The dual-language text (
English and French) works to heighten the narrator’s shifting perceptions, symbol by symbol, vision by vision.
In FRENCH and ENGLISH
DRINKS and SNACKS will be served after the presentation. Free for AF members and $10 for non-members

Dreaming the World in Translation: A Conversation with Hélène Cardona. Interview by Alison Williams in World Literature Today:

"When you understand and know other cultures, you don’t fear the other. There is no other. We should be shepherds of the Earth."
"Translation is necessary to know oneself—to know where one comes from. Every language is a key into the psyche of its people."
"Through translation, we bring cultures together, we create bridges. Becoming familiar with another culture transcends otherness. We are many and diverse."
