L'Avant-Scène presents "Berlin mon garçon" by Marie NDIAYE

The Troupe of L&#x27;Avant-Scène will perform its third and last play of the academic year, &quot;Berlin mon garçon&quot; by Marie NDiaye directed by Florent Masse, virtually, on Thursday, April 22 at 8:00 pm and Friday, April 23 at 4:00 pm &amp; 8:00 pm. The production features Flora Champy, Sultan Habsi ’22, Gavin LaPlace ’23, Marley Jacobson ’22, Elyssa Schaeffer GS, and Sophie Orloff who will be performing the play live.Marina arrives in Berlin and moves in with Rüdiger, a strange man who rents her a room. He learns that she has come to look for her son, whom she no longer hears from. Why is Rüdiger so willing to be involved in her search? Lenny, Marina&#x27;s husband, has stayed in Chinon, where the two own a bookstore. His mother Esther wants to know: why isn&#x27;t he doing anything to find his son? In this play by Marie NDiaye (Prix Goncourt 2009), previously unstaged but initiated by the director Stanislas Nordey, the characters face a mystery: what has become of this boy, and why did he leave? Is he capable of the worst, as Esther believes? Must they find him by any means necessary, or rather let him go and allow him to save himself? Marie NDiaye published her first novel, Quant au riche avenir (Minuit), at 17 years old. Since then, she has written around fifteen more, including Rosie Carpe (Minuit, Prix Femina 2001), Trois femmes puissantes (Gallimard, Prix Goncourt 2009), and La Cheffe, about a female chef (Gallimard, 2016). As a playwright, she has been awarded the theatre prize from the Académie Française. In French, approximate running time 100 mn.On the day of the performance you will receive a Zoom Link to the webinar performance.
