Date:
November 20, 1977
Description:

  • Frankétienne pale sou nouvo pyès teyat li te ekri nan lang kreyòl la espesyalman pou François Latour ak Teyat Nasyonal Ayiti a. Li eksplike koman li jwenn enspirasyon nan tradisyon ayisyen, tankou teyat «anba tonèl» ak «lodyans», ak sou wòl teyat, sitou teyat ki komik, pou ede moun sipòte sa y ap sibi ak pou devwale verite sosyal la. «Griyen dan se pa yon bagay ki inosan» di Frankétienne.

  • Frankétienne discusses his new play, Twou Foban, a Haitian Creole-language work written specifically for François Latour and the Théâtre National d'Haïti. He describes how the play draws on Haiti traditions such as "anba tonèl" theater and "lodyans," and the role of theater, particularly humor and satire, to cope with and reveal social truths. "Griyen dan se pa yon bagay ki inosan" ("Laughing isn't innocent") says Frankétienne.

  • Frankétienne présente sa nouvelle pièce de théâtre en créole « Twou Foban », spécialement écrite pour François Latour et le Théâtre National d'Haïti. Il explique comment elle s'inspire des traditions haïtiennes telles que le théâtre « anba tonèl » et la notion de « lodyans ». Il parle du rôle que joue le théâtre pour dénoncer et endurer les réalités sociales, notamment par le biais de l'humour et de la satire. « Griyen dan se pa yon bagay ki inosan » (« rire n'est pas innocent »), dit-il.
