We wanted to turn this occupation, too often considered solitary and silent, into a collective, playful activity, practised viva voce with the body in motion. Moving reading also means taking it out of its expected framework, proving its omnipresence so that it can move the reader himself, making him rediscover familiar or unfamiliar places, upsetting his relationship with the text.
