Soirée Haïtienne
Time: July 29, 2010 from 6pm to 9:30pm Location: Krik Krak Restaurant and Lincoln Center Organized By: Manisha Snoyer - Actress/Teacher
Event Description: La Comédie Française New York invites Francophones and Francophiles to a French-language evening celebrating the culture of Haiti.
6pm - Dinner at Krik Krak Restaurant and communal reading in French of "Frankétienne" by Haitian playwright poet and Foukifoura, followed by French conversation. All French speakers welcome to participate. (limited to 20) Amsterdam btw 101st and 102nd http://www.krikkrakrestaurant.com/
Join La Comédie Française New York for dinner and discussion in New Haven, followed by the performance of Bernard-Marie Koltès Battle of Black and Dogs. Set in remote corner of Africa, Battle of Black and Dogs is a politically, sexually, and culturally charted tale of psychological warfare that erupts at an isolated construction compound. When a hired man mysteriously dies, his brother arrives at the compound to collect the body - and the site manager, his fiancé and an engineer all become embroiled in the cover up of the worker's death. The haunting thriller by acclaimed French writer Bernard-Marie Koltès is directed by visionary theatre artist Robert Woodruff, whose 2009 production of Notes from Underground was hailed as "a brilliantly original work of art" (The Boston Globe).
