Alliance Française Gardens
Carmen |
|
We will be showing
George Bizet’s famous opera ‘Carmen’ in partnership with the
Festival Aix-en-Provence, a leading opera Festival that has
been running annually since 1948. Join us for an immersive
experience to the captivating music from ‘Carmen’, in a
relaxed and informal setting.
A once in a lifetime experience to catch international
ballet dancers on the Alliance Française garden stage from
leading Ballet companies including Zurich Ballet, Les Grands
Ballets Candiens, Royal Danish Ballet and the Staatsballet
Oldenburg Germany.
The Russian director, Dmitri Tcherniakov
gives a dark modern twist to George Bizet’s famous opera
‘Carmen’. An experimental new form of private therapy for
couples offers lavish role-playing sessions to refresh
failing marriages. The sulking husband will be Don José; his
irritating wife seizes the role of Micaëla.
Dmitri Tcherniakov was named ‘Director of the Year’ for this
unconventional production by a jury composed of independent
music critics for the German magazine ‘Opernwelt’. The
Orchestre de Paris, under the baton of Spanish conductor
Pablo Heras-Casado, gives a crisp yet fiery reading of
Bizet’s dazzling melodies. |

Collaboration
between Kenyan and Refugee artists on one stage.
The main objective of the event, is to allow for the telling
of refugee stories of trials and triumphs in form of poetry,
music and dance. This will in turn provide the basis for
which Amnesty International runs the ‘I Welcome’ campaign
and also pushes for refugee integration.By creating a safe
space for the holding of this conversation, REFUPOET will
enable its participants to better understand their role in
the discussion while potentially turning them into refugee
rights activists |

Breathe II |
|
What if there is no deep
meaning to life? What if this is all there is to it? What if
our dreams are only meant to be that- dreams? If that is so,
what do we say of hope? What do we say about perseverance?
What about courage? What do we say of defiance and that
crazy cynical way that life can kick us to our knees, yet we
still get up and say- “one more time”? Back to Basics brings
you Breathe II: Stories by Jackson Biko (from his blog
www.bikozulu.co.ke.) featuring deeper, darker and even more
satirical looks at ourselves. Here’s yet another opportunity
to be thankful for the breath in your lungs.
Directed by Nick Ndeda, Breathe II will be starring Mwikali
Mary, Ian Mbugua, Linda Milimu, Brian Ogola, Wanjiku Mburu,
Bruce Makau, Wambui Murimi and Wakio Mzenge who will be
transforming the stage into the airport, forest, hospital,
roadside as they Breathe Biko’s stories some Theatre life.
Breathe is produced by Masuti Mwalimu, staged managed by
Daisy Temba and is created by Mbeki Mwalimu.
