ROSANIE SOLEIL Wednesday, October 7 | 7:30 p.m. Tropiques Atrium. Frantz Fanon Hall Ticket Prices: 25EUR, 20EUR, 10EUR Book now! urlr.me/CRbyhQLa The play takes place during the Southern Uprising and its bloody crackdown. However, Ina Césaire clarifies in her introduction that this is not a historical play, but rather an intimate one. Indeed, *Rosanie Soleil* is first and foremost a play about women—women connected to one another as well as to the outside world. Each seeks to conceal her own involvement in historical events to protect the others. It is therefore also a play about what is said and what is left unsaid, about Caribbean oral expression that weaves proverbs, metaphors, and allusions into the narrative...Violence will attempt to intrude upon the world of the four characters: the mother, Man Soleil; her two daughters, Rosanie and Einasor, her opposite twin counterparts; and the neighbor Fumee, who appears to have lost her mind. Fortunately, the sisters’ everyday gestures, poetic speech, and practical actions will succeed in protecting them—and in saving this mysterious man… who is absent… or who sometimes makes his presence known through the sound of a drum or a ti-bwa in the house…While Rosanie Soleil is the only historical figure, this entire theatrical family conveys to us a glimpse of the true spirit of the island of Martinique.-----------Text: Ina CesaireDirected by: Arielle Bloesch Collaborator: Anne-Alex Psyche With: Rita Ravier, Laura Grandfils, Suzy Singa, Caroline Savard Lighting Design: Fred Libar Costumes: Kelly Guillaume Fabrics: Emmanuelle Soundjata Photography: Peggy Fargues Production: Compagnie Les Berlick Co-production: Tropiques Atrium, Scène nationale With the support of: Etc_Caraibe Tropiques Atrium Scène Nationale, 6 rue Jacques Cazotte, Fort-de-France, 0596 70 79 29
