USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Black Like Me in French With Clémentine Célarié
Theatre Raymond Kabbaz, Le Lycee Francais de Los Angeles (Los Angeles, CA)
Performed in French with English subtitles, Clémentine Célarié’s one-woman show Dans La Peau d’un Noir adapts John Howard Griffin’s famously powerful 1961 exploration of race in America, which found the white journalist masquerading as a black man for a journey through the then-segregated South. Célarié transforms herself into dozens of characters for this solo show, co-directed by her son, songwriter-beat boxer Abraham Diallo. Born and raised in Dakar in sub-Saharan Africa and always attuned to matters of race, Célarié looks to reflect on both history and the present with her staged version of this ground-breaking book.
