Eight students from ENSATT\,  four of whom belong to the school’s acting department\, and four others from the technical departement\, with various specializations in light and sound design\, costumes\, etc.\, were invited to train and work on the staging of the play with Adishakti profesionnals\, under the mentorship of Director Nimmy Raphel. \nAt the heart of He-Rose lies a profound inquiry into the nature of heroism. Drawing parallels between iconic figures such as Arjuna from the Mahabharata and Achilles from the Iliad\, the production challenges conventional notions of heroism\, inviting audiences to contemplate the interplay between vulnerability and courage. Through a series of thought-provoking performances and workshops\, the project aims to celebrate the multifaceted nature of heroism\, emphasizing the universality of human. \nPondicherryChennaiPondicherryVaranasiDelhiChandigarhPunePondicherry\n\n\n24\, March 2024\nTime: 6 pm\nVenue: Alliance Française de Pondichéry\n58\, Suffren St\, White Town\, Puducherry\, 605001 \nKnow more\nChennai\n\n27 March\, 2024\nTime: 8 pm\nVenue: Alliance Française Madras\n24\, College Rd\, opposite GOOD SHEPHERD MATRICULATION HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL-NUNGAMBAKKAM\, Subba Road Avenue\, Nungambakkam\, Chennai\, Tamil Nadu 600006 \nKnow more\nPondicherry\n\n1 April\, 2024\nTime: 7:30 pm\nVenue: Adishakti Theatre Festival\nAdishakti\, Edayanchavady Road\,Vanur Taluk\,\nAuroville Post\,Irumbai Panchayat\,\nVillupuram District\,Tamil Nadu – 605 101 \nKnow more\nVaranasi\n\n11 April\, 2024\nTime: 6:30 pm\nVenue: Nagari Natak Mandali\, Near Hospital\, Kabir Math\, Sant Kabir Rd\, Kabir Nagar Churaha\, Jhandatale\, Varanasi\, Uttar Pradesh 221001 \nClick here to register \nKnow more\nDelhi\n\n13 April\, 2024\nTime:  7 pm\nVenue: National School of Drama (NSD)\, House 1\, Bahawalpur\, Bhagwan Das Rd\, opposite PNB Bank\, Mandi House\, New Delhi\, Delhi 110001 \nKnow more\nChandigarh\n\n17 April\, 2024\nTime: 7:30\nVenue: Tagore Theatre\, Sector 18 Chandigarh\, 160018 \nKnow more\nPune\n\n20 April\, 2024\nTime: 7 pm\nVenue:  NM Wadia Amphitheatre\, Fergusson College\, GRFQ+8F2\, Shivajinagar\, Pune\, Maharashtra 411004 \nClick here to register \nKnow more\nAbout ENSATT\n\n \n \n \n\n\nENSATT\, National Superior School of Arts and Techniques of Drama\, is a French public school which trains students for all performance linked occupations.

ENSATT’s pedagogic policy encourages an experience-based learning process: students\, during internships or creations\, train with French and foreign professionals. No hierarchy could exist between Arts and Techniques. Each discipline includes both aspects which are unique\, essential and revealed in the collective strength. \nSince 2018\, a proactive and militant policy is implemented to ensure an access to the world artistic’s repertoires of America\, Africa\, Asia\, Europe and Oceania to ENSATT’s students. Following the He-Roes adventures and the forthcoming signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National School of Drama (NSD) in Delhi\, India has emerged as a significant partner for ENSATT in the global landscape. \nAbout Adishakti Laboratory for Theatre Art Research\n\n \n \n \n\n\nAdishakti Laboratory for Theatre Art Research is a contemporary theatre research and repertory company near Pondicherry\, India.

P O PBringing the taste of Reunion Island's rich music tradition to India.Dec 12 - Dec 22\, 2023Let's Get StartedGet the tasteTickets availableFind your show \n\n \n \n \n Maya Kamaty\, a prominent Creole Urban Pop musician of Indian origin from Reunion Island\, the French overseas territory\, brings a taste of Réunion Island’s rich music tradition to India. She is also known as the daughter of Gilbert Pounia\, the lead singer of Ziskakan\, one of the most famous Maloya bands from Réunion Island. Very early\, and thanks to her father\, she has developed a deep interest and relationship to India where she was last touring in 2018. For her return\, she will be performing this time her new EP “Sovaz”\, the Creole word for “wild”\, where she experiments urban pop music in a freestyle approach. With her mesmerizing vocals and deep-rooted connection to Maloya\, a music genre usually sung in Réunion Creole\, she offers a unique blend of traditional and contemporary music. Her music is a reflection of her diverse influences\, from traditional Maloya to slam\, rock\, reggae\, jazz\, and dance\, along with island blues melodies\, and Afro-beats. \nJodhpurLucknowAhmedabadBhopalKolkataJodhpur\n\n12 December\, 2023\nTime: 9 pm\nVenue: Daspan House\nOld\, Loco Rd\, Ratanada\, Jodhpur \nLucknow\n\n14 December\, 2023\nTime: 8 pm\nVenue: Cafe Hons\nLe Press\, Naval Kishore Rd\, Hazratganj\, Lucknow \nAhmedabad\n\n16 December\, 2023\nTime: 8:30 pm\nVenue: Natrani Amphitheatre\nDarpana Academy of Performing Arts\, Usmanpura\, Ahmedabad \nBhopal\n\n20 December\, 2023\nTime: 6:30 pm\nVenue: Bahirang\, Bharat Bhawan\nOutdoor Amphitheater\, Near Upper Lake\, Krishna Nagar\, Shymala Hills\, Bhopal \nKolkata\n\n22 December\, 2023\nTime: 10 pm\nVenue: Miss Ginko Club\n169\, Rashbihari Avenue\, 3rd Floor\, City Mart\, Ballygunge\, Kolkata \nAbout Maya Kamaty\n\n \n \n \n\n\nLong gone now seems the time when the “Pounia kid” – who gets her name from the founder of the famous Ziskakan collective\, from Reunion Island – then a student in Montpellier\, left the safety of home to take to the stage as a backup singer. \nSince then\, Maya has reconnected with her island and made creole and maloya her own. Her parents and their dalons (friends)\, among them the celestial bum Alain Peters\, fought relentlessly\, as early as 1979\, to keep their music alive. Proudly bearing the kayamb\, its most distinctive instrument\, Maya takes a hold of her own history\, mirroring that of the island itself\, and makes it the driving force behind her work. She picks out her second name\, “Kamaty” (the name of a marginal\, intense and proud woman from the village of Grand Bois\, whom her father held in high esteem) as the key to her own path. \nMolded on the stage\, acclaimed by critics and fans alike\, her first album\, Santié Papang (2014)\, is voted « Coup de cœur » of the Académie Charles Cros\, allowing Maya to tour the world defending its songs: from India to Australia\, by way of Morocco\, South Africa\, Canada\, South Korea and China. \nDespite this success\, with her next step\, Maya Kamaty chooses to leave behind the acoustic dimension of her first album and to dig deeper into her own maps of musical exploration: “Making a second album just like Santié Papang would have been too easy. I needed to challenge myself\, to take risks.” \nFrom this\, there emerges Pandiyé\, released in 2018. An album hanging (a literal translation of its title from the creole) between tradition and modernity. \nPowerful basslines – borrowing equally from the Islandic composer Asgeir’s electro-folk\, Kendrick Lamar’s hip hop\, and Björk’s pop hits – lay the foundations for some of maloya’s more traditional instruments\, such as the kayamb or the roulèr\, to thrive on. Other instruments integral to the island’s culture can also distinctly be heard: the takamba for instance (also known as n’goni)\, as well as a number Indian drums\, usually heard in religious ceremonies of Tamil tradition – Maya herself being a 5th generation descendant of the indentured laborers who came from India to settle and work on the Island. \nCollaborating with producer Victor Vagh (Flavia Coelho)\, Maya and her team found just the right fit between organic and electronic music. Their reinvented maloya doesn’t belong solely to Reunion Island anymore\, but to the whole world\, and radiates emotion through hypnotic pulses\, messages through images. Above all\, it speaks of the live strength of the creole language. For if the envelope has changed\, Maya’s need to tell stories through songs has not. \nThe Pandiyé Tour brings the band to Europe and Canada\, and culminates in the opening of the Vieilles Charrues festival in July 2021\, before being brought to a halt by the current sanitary context. \nBut it would take more than a global pandemic to stop this rolling train. Maya Kamaty continues to lead her ongoing musical explorations and delves into the world of urban cultures to draft the contours of her new journey: “Sovaz” (“savage” in English). The world brutally stopping in its tracks gives her the time she needed to reassess and get involved in writing once more. \nWith this new EP\, the singer cuts yet another path for herself in the current musical landscape while refusing to cut any corners\, composes syncopated melodies and sings lyrics expressing a deep-rooted wrath\, which she expels with an urgency well-known to any street artist. Behind the term “Sovaz” itself lies the idea of a certain rawness\, of un-politeness\, of brazenness even – an attitude borrowing from the codes of street gangs\, of bad boys\, of rebellious girls. In this regard\, Sovaz can be read as the uncensored expression of a fully self-assured woman. \nFor this new opus\, which she defines as « Kreol Urban pop »\, Maya Kamaty teams up with beatmaker Sskyron and guitarist Adrien Pigeat\, in a minimalist format on the cutting edge of current urban creation; and with tasteful forays into hip hop\, trap and atmospheric pop\, she manages to build a mightily convincing and unconventionally deep repertoire. \n\nExtracts from Hortense Volle\, Frédérique Cheynet et Mounir Kabbaj \nAlliance Française ToursSeason 2023\nBy showcasing iconic French artists like Maya Kamaty\, Alliances Françaises continue their tradition of bringing the finest of French culture to India. The cultural season will run through December 2023\, allowing Alliances Françaises to participate in a wide range of artistic events and partnerships\, with music and vocal performances prominently featured in this year’s program.

The urban population is likely to increase to 50% by 2050. Such an explosion in urban population raises questions of food security and economic issues hastened by other issues such as climate change.  \nUrban agriculture is one of the sustainable tools which can help in solving this issue\, becoming the “savior of rapid urbanization”. Not very widespread in India\, research on urban agriculture has been growing steadily in France in the past ten years. It has been more and more recognized as an efficient tool for creating more resilient cities\, help fight climate change by creating cooling areas\, help retain water in soils\, create biodiversity spots within the cities and create bio-waste that can be reused as natural fertilizers. On top of all\, it is a very powerful tool to create social bonds within the inhabitants of a neighborhood. \nThere are several forms of urban agriculture. Some are geared towards producing sufficient amounts of food to feed a population in need (subsistence agriculture). Others are more geared towards creating social bonds. The other forms are hybrid\, oscillating between these two primary objectives.   \n In this series of conferences\, we wish to discuss the benefits as well as shortfalls of urban agriculture in various contexts\, keeping in mind that this practice cannot be applied in a uniformed manner across different territories. \nThis series of conference will take place in the presence of two representatives of the French Association for Urban Agriculture\, created in 2016\, that will be invited to come from France for a week-long stay: \nFlore-Anaïs Brunet is the Urban Agriculture Project Manager at the “Le Mouvement des Régies\,” a national network of 130 social inclusion and community development associations operating in underprivileged areas in France. With a background in horticulture and landscape engineering\, along with numerous study trips to Latin America and Europe\, she specializes in socially-oriented urban agriculture after working in a botanical garden and landscape design offices in Paris and Berlin.  \nShe possesses strong skills in network facilitation\, event organization\, and project support for multifunctional urban agriculture initiatives in low-income neighborhoods. She is also certified in permaculture. As the vice-president of AFAUP since 2019\, she has a national understanding of the urban agriculture sector in France and represents socially-oriented urban agriculture projects\, associations\, and inclusion organizations.   \nShe particularly enjoys forging connections at various levels\, fostering collective thinking\, and facilitating professional networks to contribute to more fertile and peaceful communities. \nMarie Fiers is an agricultural engineer specialized in microbial ecology research. She has founded a counseling and engineering bureau in urban agriculture in France and specializes in hydroponics. A member of the French Association for Urban Agriculture since its creation\, she has been a board member before becoming a full-time employee. Marie is fascinated by the interactions between two worlds that we tend to oppose rather than connect – the rural and the urban worlds. She works out of Burgundy in France and her mission is to develop evaluation tools for assessing the benefits of urban agriculture as well as create synergies with European networks of urban agriculture. \nProgramme2023\n\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nVenue\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15 October 2023\n\nDelhi\nWorkshop: Beginner’s Guide to Urban Farming Sow some seeds!\n\n\n16 October 2023\n4 pm\nDelhi\nDiscussion: Urban agriculture: a tool for more sustainable\, resilient and inclusive cities?

After studying animation\, she ventured off the beaten path and sought to showcase her art for all to see by creating murals in the streets of Paris as well as in numerous countries such as Cambodia\, Vietnam\, and Belgium. \nShe also creates mappings for events and animations on immersive devices\, such as at the Atelier des Lumières in Paris. \nHer style is situated on the border between naive\, surreal\, and ironic narration\, composed of cartoonish characters that are highly colorful and nuanced. Working on large-scale curves allows her the freedom to fully express her movements while bringing her various characters to life. \nSuper Bab\, born in 1993\, he created his first graffiti at the age of 13. In the following years\, he honed his graffiti techniques and explored other avenues such as painting\, drawing\, watercolor\, printmaking\, and ceramics. \nWhile studying at the Beaux-Arts in Paris\, he learned better academic techniques and developed his drawing skills as well as his personal style. \nStarting with a conventional drawing\, he adds an abstract touch\, particularly influenced by famous surrealist paintings such as those by Miró and Picasso. He also incorporates elements from outsider art and tribal art. \nAashti Miller is an architect\, illustrator and graphic designer. She was born and raised in Mumbai\, and studied Architecture at Cornell University in Ithaca\, New York. \nShe is the sole force behind MillerInk\, an illustration and graphic design studio. She constructs her drawings in an attempt to make sense of the unexpected collision of her two seemingly disparate worlds. \nAs a result\, her aesthetic and style have evolved into detailed drawings that tread the fine line between constructed and painted\, digital and analog\, two and three dimensional. Her work is heavily inspired by and explores spaces\, places\, and faces. \nJace started out as a street painter. For years\, after starting at the age of eleven by repainting his bike in shimmering vermillion red\, he traveled around the island of La Réunion and put his name up everywhere\, influenced by the hip-hop movement and lowbrow art\, although he considers himself free from any particular influence. \nAs a street artist\, he was critical of his own work\, feeling that it was not personal or identifiable enough. So he created a partner\, a teammate who became a legend before his creator: the Gouzou.

In 1999\, the team of Les Colporteurs teamed up with that of the Les Nouveaux Nez to imagine\, in Ardèche\, what became La Cascade\, National Circus Pole of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes\, of which they are since partners. In 2000\, after a serious accident\, Antoine Rigot must abandon wire-dancing\, but resumes work as an actor\, and engages in writing and stage direction. He conceives and directs the shows of Les Colporteurs : Diabolus in Musica (2003)\, Le Fil sous la Neige (2006)\, Hautes Pointures and Tarina (2007)\, Sur la Route… (2009)\, Le Bal des Intouchables (2012) \, Le Chas du Violon (2014)\, Evohé (2015)\, Sous la toile de Jheronimus (2017) and Le retour des papillons\, an exit show for Fratellini Academy students (2017). In 2018\, following the creation\, Méandres\, shared with Agathe\, Antoine Rigot directed\, along with Alice Ronfard\, the show F(r)iction for the 30th graduating class of CNAC. In 2019\, Antoine directed with Julien Lambert the show TOYO!\, a musical and acrobatic duo for young audiences. In 2022\, Antoine Rigot and Agathe Olivier create a new show under the big top with ten circus artists and musicians \, Coeurs Sauvages\, actually on tour in France and Europe. \nThe company Les Colporteurs produces and performs these shows under its big top\, indoors and in the public space\, in France and abroad. \nThe company Les Colporteurs is supported by the DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes\, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region\, Department of Ardeche and the City of Le Teil d’Ardèche. \nGilles Charles-Messance – tight-rope artist contorsionist\nIt all started for Gilles in 1977 when he walked into Annie Fratellini and Pierre Étaix’s circus. He was new to this world\, as they say. He started off being an acrobat\, then he created a circus act on a trampoline as well as a fixed trapeze act thanks to which he worked at Arlette Gruss’s circus\, then in several traditional circuses\, including Monti in Switzerland\, or Alexis Gruss. Later on\, he performed a flying trapeze act thanks to which he joined the Arts Sauts\, and a Washington trapeze act with which he began a long collaboration with the company Les Colporteurs. Gilles hates to say he works\, he’d rather say he has fun while making the audience happy. \nColine Rigot – musician\nAs the daughter of tightrope artists\, Agathe Olivier and Antoine Rigot\, Coline has always known the tricks of the trade… of contemporary Circus. During Volière Dromesko tour that Coline first walked on a rope and she started learning the violin with Hungarian Gypsy musicians of the company. Later on\, Coline alternated between learning the violin at the classical music academy\, and improvisation workshops with Carl Shlosser\, a saxophone player – jazz composer of the first show of Les Colporteurs\, Filao. Gradually she developed a poetic language combining rope and violin.\nAfter receiving the classical gold medal at the music Avignon academy and after learning jazz\, in Didier Lockwood’s class\, Coline led her life\, sometimes with circus\, including three creations with Les Colporteurs as musician or tightrope artist\, sometimes as theatre musician with FootsBar\, or even as violinist with collectives of travelling musicians\, such as Tchabadjo and Les Poissons Voyageurs. \nAbout Aaron Fernandes Entertainement\nAaron Fernandes is working as a producer on the tour of “Our Daily Performance” in India.

Shared ideas and diverse viewpoints can invigorate\, transform\, build bridges. Find solutions to the most intractable problems. \nCommitted to this ideal\, the Night of Ideas is a unique platform that was initiated in 2016 during an exceptional evening in Paris\, when foremost French and international thinkers were invited to come together to discuss the major issues of our time. Since then\, the Night of Ideas has grown to become a prestigious fixture on the international calendar. \nHosted across 200 cities\, 100 countries\, and 5 continents. From Paris to New York. Fiji Islands to New Zealand. Seoul to Shanghai. New Delhi to New Mexico. The Night of Ideas brings together front-line minds interconnected by a common purpose — on one day\, to celebrate the power of thought. \nThis year\, the theme is intriguingly titled More? and the Indian edition of the Night of Ideas will be focusing on the crucial\, fundamental\, and fascinating world of food in all its dimensions: the pleasure\, the politics\, people\, palates\, plurality. And the all-important questions of equity\, sustainability\, and security. \nA few facts to indicate the scale of what’s at stake: India is the second largest food producer in the world. Almost half of India’s 130 billion people\, that’s close to 700 million people\, are engaged in farming. 67% of which are women. Yet\, while they feed the country and keep us safe\, they add only 18% to the GDP\, and 76% of farmers want to give up farming. Women — the spine of all of this — own only 2% of the land. \nSo how can these inequities be corrected? Are GM crops the route? Or are organics the answer? How can we\, as consumers of food\, make the food chain more  robust? How can Indian agriculture become India’s greatest success story? \nAnd what of its rich and diverse cuisines. The exhilarating stories\, spices\, and history of food in India? \nA Night of Chefs & Ideas will bring together the kaleidoscopic story of food in India – with French accents. \nChefs. Experts. Policy makers. Historians. Economists. And practitioners. Come together for a night of creative thinking. \nExciting. Riveting. Thought-provoking..\nJoin us … \n\nFor more debate. More diversity. More proximity.\nMore solutions. More bridges. More stories.\nAnd a delicious\, specially curated\, dinner by a French chef from the Indian countryside.\n\nProgramme:\n6 pm – 6.30 pm: Welcome drinks and Night of Ideas Mela \n6.30 pm – 6.35 pm: Welcome Address by French Ambassador H.E.

Anne is a bright young student with a promising future ahead of her. But when she falls pregnant\, she sees the opportunity to finish her studies and escape the constraints of her social background disappearing. With her final exams fast approaching and her belly growing\, Anne resolves to act\, even if she has to confront shame and pain\, even if she must risk prison to do so… \nAnnie Ernaux is the author of twenty books with Éditions Gallimard\, including La Place/A Man’s Place (Prix Renaudot 1984)\, Passion simple/Simple Passion (1991)\, L’Événement/Happening (2000\, made into film by Audrey Diwan in 2021)\, Les Années/The Years (2008\, nominated for the Man Booker International Prize 2019) and Mémoire de fille/A Girl’s Story (2016). Her books have been gathered in a collection entitled Écrire la vie (2011). \nHer writing\, heavily influenced by autobiography\, has strong connections to sociology. “Ernaux’s work is uncompromising and written in plain language\, scraped clean. And when she with great courage and clinical acuity reveals the agony of the experience of class\, describing shame\, humiliation\, jealousy or inability to see who you are\, she has achieved something admirable and enduring” says the Swedish Academy. \nStep out and enjoy this event\n\nFebruary 27 | 6:30 PM \n\n\n\n\nFilm Screening | Q&A \n\n\n\n\n\nAlliance Française de Delhi \n\n\nFree Entry.
