The name of this year’s Grand Trissou has been revealed. After Zep, Lisa Mandel and Tebo, the Delémont’BD festival will welcome François Schuiten as guest of honor, the event announced in a press release on Tuesday. The Belgian cartoonist, scenographer and author of Cités obscures, is considered one of the greatest contemporary comic strip artists. “His universe is both coherent and utopian, inspired by the architects of the beginning of the century,” explains the Delémont’BD committee. François Schuiten’s work has been translated into around twenty languages and has won numerous distinctions.
The Belgian artist recently signed a new chapter of Obscure Cities, an imaginary universe where humans live in independent city-states, each with a distinct population and architectural style. In this opus, readers will be pleased to find Porrentruy once more.
A two-part edition
This tenth edition of the comic book festival will be divided into two parts. Its festive presentation will take place from June 14 to 16 with more than fifty national and international authors on display. Its outdoor course will take place from June 7 to August 11. More than twenty comic strip and illustration exhibitions will be distributed in a Drawing Garden installed throughout the old town of Delémont.
The festival poster, produced by Grand Trissou, will be revealed in February. The selections for the sixth edition of the Delémont’BD Prizes for Swiss comics will be presented at the end of April, before the full presentation of the program in mid-May. /comm-edr
