6th edition of the Martinique Children's Book Festival From June 22 to 27, 2026 The Martinique Children's Book Festival returns for its 6th edition under the banner of Nos petits et grands heros . Through this theme, the festival invites young and old alike to explore the many heroistic figures that populate children's literature, folk tales and our collective imagination. Everyday heroes, fictional characters, historical or legendary figures: these are all models that inspire, question and nourish the dreams of young readers. This edition also offers an opportunity to take a fresh look at our cultural heritage and traditional bestiary. The tales and legends of the West Indies are full of emblematic characters whose adventures continue to transmit values, knowledge and a singular vision of the world. Among them is Compe Lapin, a key figure in Creole oral tradition, whose cunning and intelligence transcend generations, as well as all the creatures, animals and characters that make up the richness of the Caribbean imagination. By inviting the public to rediscover these heroes from here and elsewhere, the festival helps to promote children's literature as a space for transmission, reflection and creation, where heritage, memory and modernity meet. The Mediatheque du Saint-Esprit has been a loyal partner of this cultural adventure since the first edition, and is delighted to continue its commitment to the **Association La Baie**, initiator and coordinator of the festival, in order to promote reading, access to books and the discovery of imaginary worlds among all publics. We look forward to seeing you from June 22 to 27, 2026, to celebrate books, stories and those who bring them to life.

As part of its “Between Resistance and Resilience” theme, the Art, Memory, and Heritage Department invites you to a special “Theatrical Lecture” dedicated to the historic trial of Admiral Robert, presented by the ADPKM association and historian Sylvie Meslin. In September 1944, Admiral Robert was accused of collaboration; imprisoned in Fresnes, he appeared before the High Court of Justice on March 14, 1947. He was sentenced to ten years of hard labor but walked free from the courthouse. Six months later, his sentence was commuted. He was granted a full amnesty, reinstated to his rank, and restored to the title of admiral. He also retained his decorations on April 15, 1954, but was fully exonerated in 1957.

Freedom, democracy, truth, light - the battle never ends. There are always enemies. We must fight. Our amateur workshop in Fort-de-France returns to the stage at the Theatre du Lycee Victor Schoelcher! A text by Mark Ravenhill, a major figure in contemporary British theater, known for his incisive writing and his sharp look at our societies. War and Breakfast tells the story of how war infiltrates a couple's intimacy, and even their child's nightmares. Little by little, fear distorts their view of the world, nourishing their certainty of belonging to a society of "good people", ready to crusade against an Evil they think they recognize. The show moves away from realism towards a light-hearted burlesque, as a way of keeping our fears at bay and sharing the absurdity of war. An ambitious, sensitive project, offering a moment of theater that we hope will be accessible, surprising and topical. The project is based on three short plays by Mark Ravenhill: Grand-Peur et Misere, Les Troyennes and Guerre et Paix. A major author of contemporary British theater, Ravenhill blends frontality, black humor and poetry in short forms where the everyday quickly turns to the disturbing. This show is the culmination of a year's work with eight women and one man, following on from L'Autre Bord Compagnie's amateur workshops. Together, they have sought to play truthfully, without overacting, and to build a shared imagination in which symbolism becomes a tool for telling a different story.
