Luciole International Theatre to Present HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?

Luciole International Theatre Company's Inaugural Production opens March 31st.

Luciole International Theatre Company, a new theatre company with the mission to promote international and multicultural exchanges through the arts, is proud to present its first production, "How Would You Like to be Remembered."

In June 2012, Joëlle Verstraeten, an artist and printmaker, traveled to Lisbon, to visit Clara Ploux, the Artistic Director of Luciole International Theatre Co, who was mourning the loss of her son, Eduardo. During her stay, Joëlle found a loose packet of letters, telegrams and photographs from the '50s in a flea market. They were moved by the testimony within the letters as the story of two young lovers emerged- Eduardo and Odete. Joelle and Clara began a creative journey as coincidences as dates, places, and names aroused their curiosity, emotion, and imagination. This experimental project questions how reality and fiction serve as mirrors that transcend time and space.

"How would you like to be remembered?" is a multidisciplinary art project and international collaboration presenting the exhibition of 2 sets of 25 monoprints completed with collage, drawing, sewing and written work on paper (22" x 15"), video projection, original music and and art performance / short play.
