About this Event

Insuline et Magnolia

Stanislas Roquette


L’insouciance de Stanislas, 15 ans, prend fin brutalement quand il découvre qu’il est atteint d’un diabète insulino-dépendant. Garçon joyeux devenu triste et sombre, il fait un jour la rencontre d’une jeune femme qui va bouleverser sa vie. Fleur, libre et solaire, lui fait découvrir la puissance de la poésie par sa capacité à réenchanter le réel, et à redonner un sens à l’existence face à la mort.

Dans un récit autobiographique plein d’humour et de tendresse, Stanislas Roquette raconte le choc, la rencontre, l’amitié et la vie en retour. Insuline & Magnolia est aussi une histoire d’initiation adolescente à la littérature, à la poésie et au théâtre classique français.

Insuline et Magnolia

Stanislas Roquette


The carefree days of 15-year-old Stanislas come to an abrupt halt when he discovers he has insulin-dependent diabetes. A happy teenager turned sad and gloomy, he meets a young lady one day that turns his life upside down. Free-spirited and vibrant, she introduces him to the power of poetry through the ability to reinvent reality and give meaning to life in the face of death.

In an autobiographical tale full of humour and tenderness, Stanislas Roquette recounts the shock, the encounter, the friendship, and life in return. Insuline et Magnolia is also a story of an adolescent introduction to literature, poetry, and classical French literature.
