French Playwright & Performer Clyde Chabot presents “FILLE DE MILITAIRE”
Location: Emory University – White Hall 208, 201 Dowman Dr. Atlanta, GA 30322
”My father is military, a low ranking soldier. Here I am humorously questioning how this may have affected my personality. The text searches more widely the world of the army, apparently so far from the theatre, its social, familiar and intimate dimension. I play this show in duo with a musician with a real pleasure of variation and a certain improvisation.” Clyde Chabot
This performance will be IN FRENCH.
There will be a performance of Fille de Militaire (A Soldier’s Daughter) IN ENGLISH on March 18, 2022 at 8PM (same link as below for registration).
About Clyde Chabot:
After studies in the Institute of political Studies and in the Institute of Theatrical studies in Paris with a Ph.D on the Theatre of the extreme contemporary in society, Clyde Chabot attended classes at the Unité Nomade de formation à la mise en scène with Matthias Langhoff and Piotr Fomenko. Clyde Chabot assisted François Michel Pesenti from 1989 to 2006. She has created multidisciplinary performances in the Communauté inavouable since 1992.
Clyde Chabot works through the framework of the theatre company The Communauté inavouable, created in 1992. Clyde Chabot stages texts of contemporary authors and, since 2005, her own texts on the dysfunction of love (Another Medea, Time of boys), political utopias and the fall of utopias (How the body is touched), identity and origins (SICILIA [Famiglia Mia], TUNISIA, CHICAGO-reconstitution, A Soldier’s daughter, His Singularities), friendship (Childhood’s friend). She mixes various artforms (music, dance, video…), considering theatre as an art welcoming others to receive a text from the author, as shared through the performer to the public.
The Communauté Inavouable presents its projects in France and abroad as part of long-term partnerships. It has run educational and awareness workshops since its origin (college, high school, prison, hospital, library, community center, etc.).
This event is hosted by Emory University and cosponsored by the University of Notre Dame, the Consulate General of France in Atlanta, the Villa Albertine, and the Alliance Française of Atlanta.
