    Episode 5 : Fratarabie - Theatre

    It was a crazy idea to bring together the Oud and the Viola da Gamba, two traditional instruments from very different cultures. It was also a challenge to put side by side Arab and Western poets, from all eras. To see how they could dialogue and testify together as a unity. It is however this challenge that the show "Fratarabie" has accepted. In the same show, the Arabic language and the French language, Verlaine and Ibn Battuta, the harmony of the Oud and the harmony of the Viola. A tasty mixture of languages and melodies coming from different countries. Two cultures that a younger generation wishes to see more collaboration for the benefit of all, to deliver a message of peace. The texts spoken with passion by Hadia Laghsini and Alexandre Risso answer to the notes of the Oud of Hussam Aliwat and Valentin Tournet's Viola de Gambe. The spectator is captivated by the symbolic force of these vocal and musical presences. The meditation invites itself and continues naturally once the actors have left and the instruments put away." The Compagnie de l'Homme is a French theater company. With this project "Fratarabie", Alexandre Risso, Hadia Laghsini and Valentin Tournet take the path of a theme that is dear to them. That of intercultural dialogue.   Have a good listening !

    Episode 1 : Loving 2

    The Alliance française de Bahreïn is proud to reveal the first episode of its podcast "Waves from Bahrain" dedicated to French and Bahraini culture. This podcast will be an opportunity to highlight local and French-speaking artists through interviews and original creations. Following the release of the collection of short stories Ar Xudi and the short story Loving 2 by Bruno Lemoine, we decided to create this new format for cultural creation and diffusion. Our first episode is dedicated to two artists: Hasan Hujairi, Bahraini composer and writer and Bruno Lemoine, French writer. It is the meeting of text and sound, the news of anticipation and electronic music. Hasan Hujairi (b. 1982) is a Bahraini artist, composer, and writer. His work often explores the notion of the outsider, confronting (historiographic) superstructures, and the nature of constructing narratives within time. He holds a DMA (Doctor of Musical Arts) in music composition from Seoul National University (Seoul, South Korea), where he researched reorienting the narrative associated with the maverick composer tradition to be more inclusive of composers working outside the Western classical music tradition. Bruno Lemoine is currently a teacher. He has given courses in French as a foreign language in Burgundy, Saône-et-Loire and Paris. His work in literature revolves around the notion of heteronomy dear to the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. Bruno LEMOINE is a "multiple name" whose biography changes according to publications. He is currently writing a non-fiction about the American artist and "multiple name" Emmett GROGAN .
