Before the performance of Neige sur Abidjan, join us for a special BON Chat that brings together community voices for an engaging conversation inspired by the themes of the play. Facilitated by Mani Soleymanlou, Artistic Director of French Theatre, and featuring community voices, this gathering creates space for meaningful dialogue inspired by the play and the experiences of those who have built new lives in Canada. The event will be in French.
Through personal stories and shared experiences, our speakers will explore what it means to build a new life, navigate different cultures, and find a sense of belonging while staying connected to one's roots. Whether these experiences are familiar to you or offer a new perspective, this conversation invites reflection, dialogue, and connection.
Everyone is welcome.
Attending the BON Chat does not include admission to the performance of Neige sur Abidjan. Performance tickets must be purchased separately.
*We have limited seating available. Once capacity is reached, guests are still welcome to participate; however, seating may no longer be available.
