Soirée contes | Francophone Folk Tales

wednesday March 23 | 6:00 pm




The event is part of Le mois de la francophonie (Francophone Month,) a month-long festival highlighting the diversity of the French-speaking world. 

We're excited to announce the third edition of our "Soirée Contes," an evening for listeners, young and old, French-speaking or not, and those who want to discover the Francophone oral traditions. 

Our two conteuses, Vanessa Bertho and Emily Thibodeaux, will recite traditional folk tales from around the French-speaking world in French, accompanied by the musical stylings of Mahmoud Chouki.

Don't speak French? No problem. Translations of the tales will be available to follow along.
