What does a young undocumented man think about as he cycles through the night, carrying a Deliveroo bag on his back? He thinks about the night, he looks at the stars and thinks about his human condition: ‘Has your anchor never sought the depths of the night?’ he asks. He weaves between the city’s cars and buses, he thinks Victor Hugo, he speaks Victor Hugo, he is powerful…
Five poets living in precariousness and exile take up the words of Victor Hugo, which resonate directly with their lives. The illustrious writer will accompany them as they take a step forward, writing and describing the world in their own words.
