On
Tuesday March 22, 2011 at 8:00 PM at the French Institute in Mounira, the
Paul Klee Quartet from Switzerland will present a literary and musical voyage to Baghdad, from the Abbasid era to the 19th century. The work presented is an adaptation of the "
Thousand and One Nights", put on stage by Marcela Salivarova Bideau. Texts read by Jean-Luc Bideau. Arabic poetry read by Moataza Mahaba. The Paul Klee Quartet will be playing Rimsky Korsakov's
"Shéhérazade".
The evening will end with Jean-Luc Bideau reading extracts from "
Shrapnels - en marge de Baghdad" by Elisabeth Horem. The accompanying music is Oliver Messian's magical "
Quatour pour la fin de temps".
Not a French speaker? Well, the text will be obviously read in French (after all it is "La Fête de la Francophonie") and Arabic, but the music is universal. And, by the way, French is such a lovely language ...
