Do you speak French? Have you ever heard of Eugene Ionesco's "La
Cantatrice Chauve" ("The Bald Soprano")?
"Tiens, il est neuf heures. Nous avons mange de la soupe, du
poisson, des pommes de terre au lard, de la salade anglaise. Les
enfants ont bu de l'eau anglaise. Nous avons bien mange, ce soir.
C'est parce que nous habitons dans les environs de Londres et que
notre nom est Smith...."
Yes, you can experience the classic of French absurdist drama! The play
will be performed in French by six fluent French speakers at Harvard. "The Bald
Soprano" turns a bourgeois British living room into a madhouse. One
couple discovers, much to their surprise, that they are married, and the
local fireman weeps at the lack of fires in the city. "The Bald Soprano's"
absurdity makes it a tragic drama and a hilarious comedy. For anyone who
speaks French, even at an elementary level, Ionesco's easy-to-understand,
humorous excursion into an alternate universe is a must-see! The language
is not complicated (this is not Racine!); no super-advanced knowledge of
French is required.
Where: The Junior Common Room of Winthrop House (32 Mill St.) at Harvard.
When: Friday 4/27 at 8 p.m.
Saturday 4/28 at 8 p.m.
Sunday 4/29 at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $3 with student ID, $5 otherwise. Tickets are available at
the door or at the Holyoke Center Box Office.
Hope to see you there!
