About this event
TORN PAGE and A/PARK PRODUCTIONS present LA MUSICA DEUXIÈME by Marguerite Duras and directed by Helen Banner. Gopal Divan stars as Michel and Jessica Frey as Anne-Marie.
Marguerite Duras' subversive take on the classic tragedy of two lovers saying goodbye is reconfigured as an intimate, site-specific production that welcomes the audience into the comfort of a small French hotel. Michel and Anne-Marie, meeting on the eve of their divorce, go on a musical journey back to the lost dream of their marriage years ago. With little time left, they take the risk of spending one final night together in order to find out if they can live with or without each other. Anne-Marie, however, is ready to ask even bigger questions: about who they were and who they could be.

Thur 5/16 at 7pm; Fri 5/17 at 8pm; Sat 5/18 at 5pm and 8pm; Sunday 5/19 at 5pm.
