Festival Marguerite Duras: La Vie matérielle
Excerpts of texts by Marguerite Duras and Virginia Woolf
Directed by Irina Brook
In English and French
With Nicole Ansari, Joan Juliet Buck and Winsome Brown
Stage director Irina Brook presents a performance of La Vie matérielle, Duras’s collection of free-ranging essays, which she combines with Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own.
The juxtaposition of these meditations on life brings one to explore femininity and the roles of women in society. Brook has conceived the evening as a living experience, “more of a feast, a gathering of talents, a sense of sharing thoughts, laughter, music, and tears in one’s kitchen than a classic reading.”

Diptych: The Lover and La Musica Deuxième
Scenario and dialogues by Marguerite Duras
Directed by Astrid Bas
In English and French - with titles
With Astrid Bas and Daniel Pettrow
Violin accompaniment by Ami Flammer
Conception: Astrid Bas
A unique theatrical event, this program pairs a staged and set-to-music adaptation of Duras’s prize-winning novel The Lover (1984) with Duras’s play La Musica Deuxième (1985).
The Lover is directed and performed by French actress Astrid Bas with music by Ami Flammer.
La Musica Deuxième is performed by Astrid Bas and American actor Daniel Pettrow.
The Lover, a recipient of the Goncourt prize, is an autobiographical work. It evokes Duras’s childhood in Vietnam, recounting a teenager’s scandalous affair with a rich, older Chinese businessman. In this adaptation, Astrid Bas collaborates with Ami Flammer, a composer and violinist who previously scored several of Duras’s films. Bas and Flammer use their respective instruments – voice for Bas and music for Flammer – to create a transporting performance.
The second piece, La Musica Deuxième, relates the story of a man and a woman who meet three years after they have separated. Though they have begun new lives, their shared nostalgia leads them to re-examine their past, revealing misunderstandings and betrayals.

Exhibition: Marguerite Duras par Hélène Bamberger
Du 18 février au 18 mars 2010, le travail du célèbre écrivain Marguerite Duras sera à l'honneur. Pour l'occasion, de nombreux événements seront organisés.
Hélène Bamberger took photographs of Marguerite Duras during the summers they spent together in Trouville, Normandy, from 1980 to 1994. These images tell the story of Duras and depict her haunts, her worktable, her room, the skies of Normandy, her lover Yann Andréa…
“When I first met Marguerite, I had never read any Duras. It was only afterwards that I read her. We got on so well right from the very beginning; we started our road trips in my father’s car, a rusty old Peugeot. I was the one who drove during the summer of 1980; in the years that followed it was Yann. We would go wherever she wanted. Each place had a different name and a story of its own: the bridge at Tancarville crossed the Mekong; the salt-meadows became rice-fields; we drove through “the forests of Canada”…
I took photos from the start; often she would direct my efforts and would occasionally put herself in the frame. Before I got to know her, the idea of photographing a landscape would never have entered my head, much less a puddle of water.”
Hélène Bamberger
Since the late 70s, Hélène Bamberger has worked as a photojournalist and she co-founded the Odyssey Agency in 1982. From 1980 to 1994, she made an impressive series of portraits that covers almost fifteen years of Marguerite Duras's life, representing the most thorough photographic essay on the author. Her work is regularly featured in magazines such as Elle, Marie-Claire, Le Figaro, National Geographic France, Der Spiegel...

She won the Drama Desk, OBIE, and Outer Critics Awards for her performance in Margaret Edson's Wit and two more OBIE Awards (one for Sustained Excellence in Performance for End Game directed by David Esbjornson, and the other in 2003 for Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads). She was nominated in 1993 for the Tony and Drama Desk Awards for her part in Tony Kushner's Angels in America. She has worked with numerous directors, among whom Frederick Wiseman in Vasily Grossman's The last letter, Doug Hughes in Henry V, and Les Waters, in Marguerite Duras's Savannah Bay; she could be seen in Caryl Churchill's Far away and Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues and has appeared in movies, such as Tony Gilroy's Duplicity, and in television series (The Guardian). She received the Drama League and Sidney Kingsley Awards for her body of work. Kathleen Chalfant sits at the advisory board of the New York Foundation for the Arts.
Trained at the prestigious ENSATT School in Paris, French stage and movie actor William Nadylam has performed in numerous plays, notably under the direction of Olivier Py, Declan Donnellan (Le Cid), and Peter Brook (Hamlet). Recently he could be seen in the movie White Material by Claire Denis. Last year, he translated into French and co-directed David Hare's play Stuff Happens.

Alain Altinoglu fait ses débuts au Metropolitan Opera dans Carmen
Le jeune chef français Alain Altinoglu fait ses débuts au Metropolitan Opera dans Carmen.
A 34 ans, Alain Altinoglu espère modestement être « comme les bons vins rouges qui se bonifient avec l’âge », lui qui vient de faire un triomphe dans SALOME de Richard Strauss à l’Opéra Bastille. L’Opéra de Paris est « sa maison », il y a tout fait, souffleur, assistant, chef de chant, et s’est aussi formé auprès des plus grands comme Pierre Boulez et Daniel Barenboïm.
Il sait qu’il « prend beaucoup de risques » en arrivant au milieu des représentations de CARMEN, car il n’aura droit qu’à une répétition avec l’orchestre. Mais comme « le Met, c’est le luxe suprême », il y risquera tout à partir du 27 Janvier. Et se réjouit beaucoup de reprendre cette CARMEN en Avril-Mai, toujours au Met, avec des chanteurs superstars comme Angela Gheorghiu et Jonas Kaufmann.
Ceux qui l’auront raté au Met pourront le voir diriger à nouveau CARMEN au Chicago Lyric Opera en Octobre prochain puis en Mars 2011.
Entre temps, les heureux de ce monde qui assisteront cet été aux fameuses CHOREGIES d’ORANGE (Gard, France) le verront mener à la baguette la MIREIILE de Charles Gounod ( 4 et 7 août).

The Invisible Dog Art Center Presents The Ant by artist Xavier Roux
We proudly presents The Ant in the main exhibition hall. Artist Xavier Roux was inspired to create the sixty-foot long sculpture by the poem written by Surrealist Robert Desnos in 1942. This touching piece consists of a giant ant symbolizing the trains transporting Jews and other nazi victims to concentration camps.The Invisible Dog Art Center www.theinvisibledog.org and Xavier Roux are deeply committed to this exhibition. We have embarked in the adventure of assembling the material such as nylon balloons, foam boards, sound systems, etc. The next step is the installation of the creature. It is fabricated from four elements, which are attached to a steel structure.

Alias Man Ray: The Art of Reinvention
A trailblazing figure in 20th-century art, Man Ray (1890-1976) revealed multiple artistic identities over the course of his career – Dadaist, Parisian Surrealist, international portrait and fashion photographer – and produced many important and enduring works as a photographer, painter, filmmaker, writer, sculptor, and object maker. Alias Man Ray explores the deliberate cultural ambiguity of Man Ray, who became the first American artist to be accepted by the avant-garde in Paris. It also examines the dynamic connection between Man Ray’s assimilation (few know that he was born Emmanuel Radnitzky to Russian Jewish immigrants), the evolution of his art, and his willful construction of a distinctive artistic persona. Visitors to Alias Man Ray will be privy to his endless experimentation in over 200 works including photographs, paintings, sculptures, objects, drawings, films, and a selection of his writings. This is the first major multimedia Man Ray show at a New York City museum since 1974.
