Alliance Française de San Francisco

🌟 Merci, Véronique Aubouy! 🌟 What an unforgettable evening with renowned French filmmaker and performance artist Véronique Aubouy, who transported us through In Search of Lost Time, all from memory, in just one hour. 🎭 “Summarize In Search of Lost Time in One Hour” was a truly singular experience, blending memory, improvisation, and emotion to make Proust feel alive, intimate, and utterly present. To everyone who joined us, asked brilliant questions, and shared in this exploration of time, art, and remembrance, thank you. 💫 For those still asking about her incredible project: 📚 Véronique has spent over 30 years exploring Proust, creating Proust Lu, a 144-hour cinematic archive featuring hundreds of readers around the world. 🎥 Her work has been shown in Paris, Rome, New York, and now, San Francisco. ✨ “A story from another time that reveals something of our own.” #VeroniqueAubouy #InSearchOfLostTime #Proust #PerformanceArt #SanFranciscoEvents #ProustLive #ContemporaryArt #LiteraturePerformance #alliancefrançaise #french

🎭 A Night to Remember at AFSF! 🎭 Thank you to everyone who joined us for RICHARD — Antony De Azevedo’s bold, surreal adaptation of Richard III at the Alliance Française de San Francisco. Starring the phenomenal Antony De Azevedo @antony_deazevedo and Ludivine Cornec @ludivine.cornec.pro, with mesmerizing scenography by Citronelle Dufay, RICHARD pushed the boundaries of contemporary theatre, and left us all breathless. Performed in French, inspired by Lynch and Besson, and brought to life with raw intensity, this production reminded us of theatre’s ability to transform, provoke, and awaken. 👏 Bravo to the cast, crew, and everyone who helped make this unforgettable night possible. #AFSFTheatre #RichardAFSF #AntonyDeAzevedo #FrenchTheatre #ShakespeareReimagined #SanFranciscoArts #ContemporaryTheatre #MetroMadness #PowerAndPoetry

🌸✨ A heartfelt thank you to the extraordinary Yoko Lévy-Kobayashi for gifting us an evening of pure enchantment, where music met perfume, and every note lingered in the air like scent on skin. Your delicate artistry, both as a violinist and perfumer, created a truly unforgettable sensory journey. From the story of your path, to the resonant strings of your violin, and the subtle perfumes that danced through the room, each moment was a poem. We are deeply grateful to our partner Villa Albertine for helping bring this magical evening to life. Merci, Yoko, for reminding us that the most moving experiences happen when art forms meet and speak to the soul. 💫🎻🌿 #YokoLevyKobayashi #ScentAndSound #VillaAlbertine #AFSanFrancisco #CulturalEvening #PerfumeAndMusic #MultisensoryExperience #Gratitude #ArtMeetsFragrance #french
