Exhibition - "Pasolini in Chiaroscuro"
From Friday 29 March to Sunday 29 September 2024, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco - Villa Sauber
The new exhibition at the Villa Sauber honours Pier Paolo Pasolini, perhaps the last European intellectual to have gained worldwide renown. A half-century on from his death, his influence can still be felt across the different fields in which he worked: he is read, commented on, adapted, and inspires contemporary creative artists. While he preferred to describe himself as a writer, it was his films that brought him to the public’s attention. The exhibition looks at his inspirations and his legacy.

Theatre - "Deux amis - Pascal Rambert"
Tuesday 7 May 2024, at 8 pm, Théâtre Princesse Grace
Friends and colleagues for thirty years, Charles and Stan, two stage actors, argue about their ambitious new project, restaging Antoine Vitez's legendary 1978 performance of the four Molière plays, The Misanthrope, the School for Wives, Tartuffe, and Dom Juan. And like their master and Molière himself, the duo want to perform without a set, but merely a table, two chairs, and stick. Dring rehearsals, Charles unfortunately reads a message on Stan's phone from a mysterious H. Discord ensues.
