Frenesies
2023-03-20 20:00 - 21:30 | Koubek Center Theater, 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
L’Alliance Française and Koubek Center present Frénésies, a theatrical production of La Compagnie Tilawcis
Turned towards an organic incarnation whose common thread is the departure-return report from the native island, the territory of origin, Frénésies starts slowly with a misguided character “I had the ocean as far as the eye could see but I was without horizon”, sometimes candid: Thomas (twin in Aramaic). He meets his inverted double, free and without attachment, real or not, to the public to decide, Bilal (the name of the Patron saint of the muezzins, the one who sublimates reality by sacralizing it. It also represents water in Arab culture, the elusive, the intangible, the one who overflows, who flies, who engulfs), who will do it juggling disturbing and ecstatic situations during the course an unforgettable trip on American roads. Everything contributes to tighten the room towards a philosophical, mystical climax, an intimate ritual to reconnect with oneself, with one’s roots, thus becoming a new genre: an initiatory road-theatre.

Coronoer To The Starts

Documentary

United States
Coroner to the Stars chronicles the extraordinary journey of Dr. Thomas Noguchi, the former Los Angeles County chief medical examiner-coroner, whose groundbreaking autopsies forever shaped American culture.
From Marilyn Monroe and Robert Kennedy to Sharon Tate and Natalie Wood, Noguchi pushed forensic science into the spotlight – even as Hollywood elites and political adversaries sought to silence him. A Japanese immigrant who unwittingly rose to fame in a city driven by stardom, Noguchi’s fearless pursuit of truth often placed him in the crosshairs of controversy.
Best described as “CSI meets TMZ,” Coroner to the Stars is a behind-the-curtains look at someone who shaped the way we – and history – view the deaths of some of our most beloved fallen icons.
