Professor Anne Catherine Abecassis met us at Centre Pompidou. The cultural institution, dedicated to modern and contemporary visual and performing arts, was designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, and opened in 1977. Anne Catherine’s thoughtful and lively lecture continued our art journey from early 20th century into the mid 1960s.
In the evening we were invited into a late 19th century family home on the edge of the Jardin Luxembourg. Marie, Jean Paul & their daughter, Ariane, with friend Josette, graciously hosted a beautifully arranged pre-theatre event.
This evening at Theatre de la Ville Akram Khan Dance Company performed Bahok, a work that
explores what home means in a society in constant transit. A complex soundtrack supports richly layered movement and text. An overhead departure board reinforces the unfolding cultural stories performed by individuals and groups in highly technical and ordinary movement idioms.
