A playful exploration of this post-war French literary movement, OuLiPo is an acronym that translates as "workshop of potential literature" most famously explored by Georges Perec and Raymond Queneau.
The tenet of the OuLiPo is to create literature with constraints (not using the letter E an infamous example, or replacing nouns in texts with other from the dictionary).
The principles of the OuLiPo have increasingly been taken into other art forms and this night will feature performances of theatrical works from the OuTraPo ("workshop for potential tragicomedy"), developed by Stanley Chapman, the only British member of the OuLiPo.
There will be creative activities for the audience and a new audio-visual work, "A Documentary Saga of the OuLiPo", by video artist Rees Archibald, composer Matthew Shlomowitz and keyboardist Andrew Infanti.
Also features book stalls by Bookworks, Artwords Bookshop and Strange Attractor.
