PLU Presents featuring Richard Earls

PLU Presents has become increasingly bold and innovative - see for yourself in our fifth edition.

This episode of PLU Presents, featuring Richard Earls, moves from strength to strength. Accustomed to straining against the formal limitations of language and grammar, in the sixth week of lockdown our poets have taken the struggle into the audio/visual medium. In this barrage of increasingly experimental videos, our brash artists break new ground: dancing, exploring, proclaiming.

A key strength of this week’s episode were the three videos submitted from The 24 Hour Festival, featuring dancers and performers from the recent L’AiR Arts residency held in Paris. Hosting a series of salons, workshops, and literary tours for international artists was an amazing experience; now, once again, we enjoy the fruits of creative collaboration. A special kudos and congratulations to our L’AiR Arts friends!

Despite everything, our community flourishes, and you can be a part of it. We invite you to join this historical moment by emailing your work (via WeTransfer) to info@parislitup.com
