Théâtre de la Feuille brings you an online play reading of The Breast Man by Hong Kong and French actors, adapted from the classic surrealist work The Breasts of Tiresias by French poet Guillaume Apollinaire.

The most fascinating thing about circus is the performer's ability and how to demonstrate the skills in controlling the bodies. Movements such as balancing, acrobatics, as well as trapeze, all start with basic skills training.

Young artists from France's top circus school, Centre National des Arts du Cirque Châlons-en-Champagne (CNAC), will share the basic circus skills and tips in the workshop, allowing you to experience basic circus training at home and learn more about circus! Maybe you will be able to show your skills to friends in the coming future!

In the end of the 17th Century, a very specific diplomatic relationship was born between China and France, thanks to Louis XIV. In 1686, the King sent French Jesuit fathers in China who occupied a special place at the Emperor’s court thanks to their deep knowledges in astronomy and mathematics.

In 1764, the Jesuit painter Giuseppe Castiglione (1688–1766) was commissioned to prepare sketches for sixteen illustrations of Qing military conquests. These were sent to Europe on the orders of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796), eventually finding their way to France, where they were etched onto copper plates used for printing.

Serge Gainsbourg is the unprecedented and unparalleled master of French music, lyrics and melody. His charisma has swept generations of young people, and his text and music will endure forever.

This talk will introduce you to this daring yet brilliant artist, by analyzing Gainsbourg's musical style and lyrics, such as the utterly famous song "Je t'aime, moi non plus" that accelerates sexual liberation.
