Theater Club in September
About this Event
MEMBERS, for the best experience, please head to ActiveNet to purchase your ticket.
Come join us for the Theater Club at the French Library, a place to read, watch, discuss and recite contemporary and classic French plays with fellow enthusiasts! At the Theater Club, we'll discuss a different play each month and read excerpts aloud to each other.
This club strives to foster discussion and dialogue around a love of contemporary theater and a chosen play: attendees are wholeheartedly encouraged to come and practice speaking in French. No acting skill required, and no public performances are planned!
Our September meeting features the 2011 multiple Molière-winning play Le Porteur d’Histoire by Alexis Michalik.
The Story:
On a rainy night, deep in the Ardennes, Martin Martin must bury his father. He is far from imagining that the discovery of a handwritten notebook will lead him on a dizzying quest through History and continents.
Fifteen years later, in the heart of the Algerian desert, a mother and daughter disappear mysteriously.
They have been drawn in by the tale of a stranger, searching for a heap of books marked with a strange chalice and a colossal treasure accumulated through the ages by a legendary secret society.
Alexis Michalik is considered the "wonder boy" of contemporary French theater. A phenomenally successful actor, writer, and director, he has won six Molière Awards and routinely has multiple sold-out hits running simultaneously in Paris.
------- Club participants are asked to read the play beforehand and bring their copy to the meeting for discussion and recitation. A handful of copies will be available at the French Library to be purchased for $10. The text may also be purchased on Les Libraires, FNAC (as an ebook) or Amazon.
Please, keep in mind that a new link is created for each event and a new registration is needed.
