Transpoesie in Brussels: 'Surrealism is still strong here'

This year, the multilingual poetry festival Transpoesie descended on the Luxembourg embassy, among other places. And the theme was surrealism. "Surrealism arose after World War I, as a reaction to the fact that we could not explain reality, and so we had to turn to surrealism and dreams to explain things. And unfortunately we are now in a similar era."
