Description

For all lovers of theater, literature, and the French language, please join us at the French Library for an exclusive preview of Soie, the poetic stage adaptation of Alessandro Baricco’s internationally acclaimed novel. French actress Sylvie Dorliat, who adapted and performs this one-woman show, will join us for a special conversation about bringing this delicate and lyrical story to the stage. Trained at the Comédie-Française and the École Jacques Lecoq, Dorliat has built a rich career across classical and contemporary theater traditions, performing internationally and in major French venues and festivals. The conversation will be moderated by David Miller, founder of Boston’s French Theater Project, who will guide an engaging exchange about literary adaptation, solo performance, and the art of translating a beloved novel into theater. This special preview at the French Library offers a unique opportunity to meet the artist and discover the creative process behind the production ahead of its Boston performances. The conversation will take place in French and will be followed by a Q&A and a glass of wine.
