Art/Literary - Cinema, Film, TV, Drama | | French term or phrase: triés sur le carreau | A description of one of the events at a cultural arts festival:
Tout vu :
Attendons-nous à bouffer de la télé, mais pas vautré-tranquille-dans-l’canapé comme d’habitude… Au menu, 24 télés diffusant autant de programmes du monde entier triés sur le carreau. Aux baguettes, les quatre acteurs de Transquinquennal et Jan Hammenecker.
A ne pas zapper. |
