Demande à la brûlure is a tear in space-time. Simon Johannin sings a set of poems to the rhythm of the instruments of Stelios.exe, their paths intersect here at the threshold of trance. A common love for life transforms words and sounds into a song addressed to the public, like everything that one does not see. Thus created a space where images, music and poetry circulate, where powerful emotions emerge, nocturnal and soft.
Simon Johannin grew up in the black mountain where his parents are beekeepers. After settling in Montpellier to pursue film studies at the university, which he quickly deserted, he joined the urban space workshop of the La Cambre school in Brussels from 2013 to 2016. His first novel, L'été des charognes (2017), a devastating and brutal chronicle of a rural childhood in the Tarn, will be staged by Hubert Colas in 2025.
Between 2020 and 2023, he publishes 3 collections of poetry (Allia) Nous sommes maintenant nos êtres chers, La Dernière Saison du monde and Le Dialogue. In 2024, his new novel Ici commence un amour (Here begins a love), marked by his obsession for writing, his melancholy and his poetry.
