Dream of the ridiculous man
Alliance Française, Daka hosted a theatrical performance by Jean-Paul Sermadiras titled "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" on 29 and 30 January 2022 at Experimental Theatre Hall, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.
"The Dream of a Ridiculous Man", subtitled "A Fantastic Story", is a short story written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1877. It is an initiatory and mystic experience proposed by Dostoevsky. This adaptation explores the fine lines between dream and reality with modernity and subtlety.
Jean-Paul Sermadiras earned a master's degree in philosophy from the University of Paris. He received training at Blanche Salant's International Workshop. In 1995, he founded the Compagnie du PasSage. He performed at the Avignon Festival on several occasions. On stage, he appeared in over forty plays by Molière, Shakespeare, and Chekhov all throughout France as well as Morocco and India, among other places.
The performance was in French, with an English translation projected on the screen. – AFD press releasae
