Summary/Abstract: Magdalena Talar describes a project to read James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake out loud in Chartreuse – the national center of dramaturgical and theatrical research in Villeneuve lez Avignon (12-14 May 2011). The author begins her text with some characteristics of the novel: drawing on texts by Umberto Eco and Marek Kędzierski, she describes its poetics and calls it a proto-hypertext. She then describes the project – “A marathon of reading out loud, transmitted live on the Internet” – in which she herself took part, paying special attention to the physical dimension of the 36-hour, 25-minute, and 41-second-long experience.
