Voir un ami pleurer, an ambitious original play inspired by Jacques Brel’s song, is the work of the young French-Belgian playwright Oliver Coyette, commissionned by Théâtre du Rêve from Atlanta, GA.

The script is at once theatrical, funny and political. Written in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the play is about the dynamic relationship between Americans and Europeans. Voir un Ami pleurer seeks to establish the forgotten links that bound us, that make us friends and cousins, across that ocean which also is a sea of dreams.” The reference to the title of the song reveals some of the sentiments of the author: “America is suffering”.

The 5-actor play is performed alternately in French with projected super-titles and in English, and is totally accessible to a wide audience (ages 12 and up) whether one speaks French or not. The play script, a study guide, (prepared by the educational specialist of the troupe) and a flyer to help with publicity may be provided.

You may join us on March 18, 2009 at our Cercle de Lecture where Dr. Gisèle Feal will lead a discussion of the text.
