Book launch - The Magical Book Of A True Story I What You See Festival

Book launch and conversation

Before the festival, dancer and choreographer Daniel Mariblanca will discuss his book The Magical Book of A True Story. This fairytale picture book was created during the working process of the performance A True Story,. In this performance, trans people – from 8 to 66 years old – talked about their shared journey with their chosen family members. 

Parallel to this process, Daniel worked with illustrator Claudia De Sessa on the publication The Magical Book of A True Story. In it, images from the performances are combined with letters written by the protagonists to their family members, beautifully captured in colourful and intimate illustrations.

Boeklancering en gesprek

Voorafgaand aan het festival gaat danser en choreograaf Daniel Mariblanca in gesprek over zijn boek The Magical Book of A True Story. Dit sprookjesachtige platenboek is gecreëerd tijdens het werkproces van de voorstelling A True Story. In deze voorstelling vertelden trans personen – van 8 tot 66 jaar – met de door hen gekozen familieleden over hun gezamenlijke reis. 

Parallel aan dit proces werkte Daniel samen met illustrator Claudia De Sessa aan de publicatie The Magical Book of A True Story. Beelden uit de voorstelling worden hierin gecombineerd met brieven die de hoofdrolspelers aan hun familieleden schreven. Hartverscheurend en liefdevol. Claudia legde het allemaal vast in een kleurrijke en intieme illustraties.  

Nu zijn Daniel en Claudia allebei hier! Op deze maandagavond gaan ze in Savannah Bay met elkaar in gesprek, vertellen ze over hun proces en het boek. Je kan hier uiteraard ook een gesigneerd exemplaar krijgen! Daarna lopen we door naar de Bibliotheek Neude om daar de gelijknamige expositie te openen.
