0

To get the season off to a flying start, the chapel theater is offering a new show previously selected from the Avignon festival program.

It is the Company "What game wants" which will present this Friday 8, this Saturday 9 and this Sunday 10 October, "Stéphanie Saint-Clair, Queen of Harlem". Show adapted from the novel by Raphaël Confiant and directly inspired by the true story of Stéphanie St-Clair, a true icon in the United States where she emigrated in 1912 and became Madame Queen known as "Queenie", an emblematic figure of the black and feminist cause. The weight of history will hover in the room of the La Chapelle theater where her life story will be told: 26-year-old Stéphanie Saint-Clair leaves her native island in the French Antilles, Martinique. She crosses the Atlantic, arrives in America and settles in Harlem. Although black, slender, poor and foreign, she faced the white mafia, the black underworld and the New York police of the time to climb with uncommon courage to the top of the ladder. social and thus become the powerful patron of the underground Harlem lottery at the time of prohibition. It is strong, incredible and crying out for truths. The adaptation is signed Isabelle Kancel, who also plays this legendary woman. The staging is thought by Nicole Dogué. The curtain will rise on three evenings at 19:30 p.m. Always in compliance with current health measures and so that the doors of the theater can remain open, wearing a mask is compulsory.
