Préparez-vous pour un moment dramatiquement français !
Portland, OR – Fabulations, unique compagnie de théâtre française sur la cote Nord-Ouest des Etats-Unis, présente la première édition de son Festival de Théâtre Français, organisé dans le cadre de la semaine mondiale de la francophonie (samedi 17 au dimanche 25 mars 2012).
Fabulations est une association récemment créée (2007) par Jane Fabulet-Roberts, ancienne élève de la prestigieuse école de théâtre internationale Jacques Lecoq à Paris. Avec déjà à son compteur quatre créations originales, toutes primées par les critiques, la compagnie promeut la langue de Molière sur scène et dans les écoles de Portland, en Oregon.
Sur une semaine, le public est invité à découvrir la culture française et les particularités de son héritage artistique au travers d’un programme comprenant des spectacles, des ateliers/classes de théâtre ainsi que des heures du conte… en français.
L’ensemble des animations sont à destination du grand public et en langue française. Malgré tout, chacun pourra y trouver chaussure à son pied puisque tous ont été également conçus avec un public non-francophone en tête. Par exemple, La Leçon de Lulu (le mardi 20 mars à la Brasserie Montmartre, Portland) est une mise en scène clownesque d’une introduction aux français pour débutants !
Que nous soyons French lovers ou French strangers… “laissons les bons temps rouler” avec Fabulations et son tout Premier Festival de Théâtre Français ! Du 17 au 25 mars prochain à Portland, OR.
