BUSINESS - THE EXCHANGE - THE FLIES

 

2012 is multi-lingual !

RESIDENT COMPANY
AT THE FRENCH INSTITUTE IN LONDON


Our first season in English at the French Institute gave a unique quality of interactive family shows: a real exchange was created with the young audience, breaking the wall between the stage and the public, and offering stories where the children were actively involved. Our second season allowed to develop a rare kind of bilingual shows for the children, such as THE PEAU D'ANE REHEARSAL designed specifically for the multi-cultural families who live in London and are used to bilingualism on a daily basis (along with revivals of success such as HOW TO MAKE A GOOD RIDING HOOD ?, NUT! and CLOCKS!). See the current videos and previous works here. The next show is called LE CHAT IN BOOTS and is Sunday 20th May at 3pm at the French institute.

EXCHANGE THEATRE IN BORDEAUX

LA VIE ETERNELLE by David Furlong

Before BUSINESS (produced in 2007), before SQUARE(D) (produced in 2010), there was LA VIE ETERNELLE, which David Furlong, artistic director of Exchange Theatre wrote in 2000.

In French

A Romantic comedy with a vampire ! David Furlong wrote La Vie Eternelle ten years ago whilst he was only just starting his career in Bordeaux. Now actor, and playwright, le cafe theatre des chartrons in Bordeaux, offered to create this unidentifiable comedy, both fantastic and romantic. 

With : Anne Sophie Perrier and David Furlong.
A serial killer is out there… that's why she never feels quite safe when she comes home late… However, each night she encounters her neighbour, serial lover, in the elevator. She likes him. But one night, as he knocks on her door, she's about to find out that her serial lover is also the serial killer the telly is talking about and that behind his crimes, he hides a heavy secret. 

Love or eternal life ? Which will win over
