« E-NOUS / E-WE »

NIGHT OF IDEAS (Alliance Française Manchester)

Jérôme Game / Jeff Barda / You!

A live dialogue on Zoom between a writer, a critic and an audience.

Where exactly are we now? From health pandemics to information technology, our era is bringing us closer together by dispersing us across space and time. Or is it the other way round? This event is a performance-reflection on our contemporary condition: between opportunity and assignment, ideology and pragmatism, how can we inhabit the ecology of creative "communication"? Through both words and action, the "e-We" community will ask the question and then try to answer it.

This event will be held in English (with a touch of French) - open to all!

Join us on 28 January @ 6.15pm (UK time)
