About

Toulouse Métropole, in partnership with Marathon des mots, is offering two creation grants for projects that blend literature with performing arts. The grants aim to support the conception of 'small forms' (up to 1 hour) that are adaptable to various festival partner venues. The projects must have a strong literary ambition and incorporate other artistic disciplines such as sound, music, or digital images, with text and writing remaining central. The selected projects will be co-produced by Toulouse Métropole and Marathon des mots and will be presented during the 23rd edition of the Marathon des mots festival (March 31 - April 4, 2027).
