February - April 2008: "RED BEARD / RED BEARD"

LAPD's residency in the Paris suburb of Gennevilliers at THEATRE 2 GENNEVILLIERS, Centre Dramatique National de Creation Contemporaine.

RED BEARD / RED BEARD is a duet for Kurosawa's film and live performers. The production seeks to answer the question: how to reverse the cycle of hurt and victimization? The story is set in a public hospital serving the indigent in rural, feudal Japan. We chose to work with this movie because its harsh depiction of the dynamics of extreme poverty resonates today in urban America as it does in the Paris suburbs. The production, directed by John Malpede, has four casts of 10 performers, each performing simultaneously for intimate audiences, with three casts performing in French and one in English.

Performances from April 1 till 20.

The production involved 36 residents of Gennevilliers and 5 LAPD'ers.

Sunday April 13, at 17:30 screening of the REAL DEAL, a documentary about LAPD, and conversation with the LAPD members in the library of the theatre.
