Marie de France, 12th century: the first known French woman poet, of whom only her first name and verses remain.
Musical theater for young audiences in French Sign Language (LSF) and French + VV Ages 8 and up ~45 min Before La Fontaine, there was Marie de France. Long forgotten and unjustly erased, she re-emerges here in a bilingual production brought to life by an actor and music. Bodies, gestures, rhythm, virtuosity: Maesta-Théâtre restores the original vitality and bold modernity of these short verse narratives. A radiant discovery.
