We know, it seems like it’s Ariane Mnouchkine Week in Theater. Helen Shaw previews the French auteur’s latest show, and if you scroll down, you’ll see a couple blog posts abouts her. But remember this: In the past 17 years, we’ve had only two previous visits by Mnouchkine and her village of a company, Theatre du Soleil. With an average of seven years between visits, can you blame us for gushing? If you’re a Mnouchkine newcomer, we offer the handy visual primer on her work. Below are photos from her two previous New York visits: Les Atrides (1992) and 2005’s Le Dernier Caravansérail (Odyssées). For tickets to her latest work, Les Ephémères, go here.
