Samuel Bekett, Oh les beaux jours au Theatre Nono

  An evening at the « Theatre Nono » is always an out of the ordinary experience… here we are all quite happily reclining on sun loungers: it helped us getting through some of the toughest parts of Beckett’s piece…with a few snores heard here and there, it was all in all a relaxed evening! It seems Serge […]

Marseille Provence 2013, un feu d’artifice d’événements!

Pour me faire pardonner ce long silence, quelques reportages sur MP2013, capitale européenne de la culture.

The Acropolis and the Acropolis museum
