There are books that don’t come into being alone. Maison Chaos, the second book by Joëlle Sambi, due to be published in September 2026 by L'Arche Éditeur, is one such book: it carries within it the voices of those who, in earlier times or in other ways, named what was kept silent. This Midi poésie is an invitation to enter into this living genealogy.
Joëlle Sambi will be joined by two women whose work has fed into the writing and thinking behind the show. Axelle Jah Njiké, author, podcaster and feminist columnist, and Camille Kouchner, a lawyer and the author of La Familia grande. An urgent and necessary three-way conversation about what speaking out liberates when, finally, we dare to do so.
Joëlle Sambi is an associate artist at the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles
