Don’t miss Le Théâtre de la Colline’s last two English-subtitled performances of the 2009-2010 season. After A Doll’s House and The Just Assassins, the theater will enhance their presentation of the play Black Battles with Dogs by Bernard-Marie Koltès for an English-speaking audience on the evenings of 16 and 25 June, and they’ll even be handing out a program in English. Set in West Africa, the play treats such turbulent themes as racial conflict, frustration, desire, and failure. The play is directed by prominent German director Michael Thalheimer (his first time working with an all-French cast). Initiated by Stephane Braunschweig, La Colline’s new director, this project aims at opening the theatre to a broader English speaking audience, whether living in or travelling through Paris. It will be renewed next season with Lulu by Frank Wedekind in December, The Grown-ups by Marie N’Diaye in March/April 2011 and Miss Julie by August Strindbergh in May 2011.
