The volume opens with Marboeuf’s latest work, \u003cem\u003eHow to Live from Fire to Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, written as a new commission, and is followed by the first English translation of his earlier text \u003cem\u003eThe Night Just Before the Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, originally published in French in 2025 by Atlantiques déchaînés.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten as if in the same breath, the two texts follow one another in a fevered, relentless movement. In \u003cem\u003eThe Night Just Before the Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, Marboeuf reworks Bernard-Marie Koltès’s play \u003cem\u003eLa Nuit juste avant les forêts\u003c\/em\u003e (Éditions de Minuit, 1977), transforming it into the delirious, unbroken monologue of a man with dark blue skin calling out to another man in the streets of a major European city. Through this act of rewriting, the echo of past revolts becomes the spark for future insurrections. Next time, a riot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e***\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlivier Marboeuf is an author-storyteller, artist, independent curator, cultural theorist and film producer from Guadeloupe.
