The Théâtre de la Ville and the Paris Université Club are setting up shop at Lafayette Anticipations to present a unique and innovative discipline at the crossroads of genres - poetry ping-pong - around artist Rirkrit Tiravanija's table tennis table.

A table tennis player, Laurent Pinon, and a table tennis actor from the Troupe de l'Imaginaire, Fosco Perinti, play table tennis while a musician from the Concert de la loge, Lucien Alfonso, improvises to the rhythm of the balls. During the session, the public is invited to participate at regular intervals, and to try out this format on the frontiers of art and sport.

Since 21 January, the "Ping-pong poésie" format has been offered in the lobby of the Théâtre de la Ville on Sunday mornings.
