Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.

In French. Ages 12 and up.

Vudú is a piece that tells the story of a pact with the devil.

Asteroid 3318 Blixen was discovered on April 23, 1985, at the Brorfelde Observatory in Denmark. It was named in honor of Baroness Karen Blixen, better known by her pen name Isak Dinesen. Karen Blixen is said to have promised her soul to the devil, and in return, the devil promised that everything she lived and experienced from that moment on would become a story.

In this creation—the first part of a Funeral Trilogy—artist, performer, actress, and writer Angélica Liddell explores the power of vengeance and ritual. Through an epic, river-like performance that blends a retrospective look at her past work with a reflection on what drives her act of creation, she charts a fatal path toward her own funeral.
