A look back at the performances by BPR’s AES theater students

From Tuesday, June 11th to Thursday, June 13th, the students from the BPR theater workshop presented a show titled “A Terrace in Paris”, the culmination of their work throughout the year. While in June 2023, the workshop students had performed the three acts of a Molière comedy, George Dandin, this year they interpreted excerpts from plays by various French authors, both classic and contemporary, assembled into a compilation. The audience was able to witness their interpretations of excerpts from Jean Genet’s The Maids, Beaumarchais’ The Marriage of Figaro, Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, Florian Zeller’s The Father, and finally Molière’s The Tricks of Scapin.

The troupe of actors gathered students from all grade levels at the college, from 6th to 9th grade, from both the French and international sections of the LFI.

Among the spectators were parents, classmates, and teachers who came to support the actors, admire their work, the fruit of long-term involvement, and hear the texts come to life. On the opening night, actress and director Agnès Seelinger, who had attended a rehearsal and given advice to the students, came to appreciate the final result.

The workshop facilitators, Yanis Loggia and Alice Rensy, French teachers in the Humanities department, renew their congratulations to Alexandre, Clara, Constantin, Éléanore, Gabriel, Louis, Lucie, May, Maximilien, Natalia, Neil and Tesnim for their involvement and performance, and for having given life to the literary texts and shared with the audience the pleasure of theater.
