Sherlock Holmes

###### **Soirée théâtrale « Boulgakov et cetera » : à l’occasion du 135ᵉ anniversaire du grand Maître** Le 14 avril, l’actrice de théâtre et de cinéma, diplômée de l’Institut russe des arts du théâtre — GITIS (faculté d’art dramatique) et de l’École supérieure des arts de la scène G.G.Dadamian (faculté de mise en scène), metteuse en scène et pédagogue à la faculté d’art dramatique du GITIS, Stassia Sokolova-Savostianova, présentera au public de la Maison russe une création originale, hommage à l’art dramatique ancien et au maître bien-aimé de la littérature russe. Dans le bouquet festif de ce monoconcert — des œuvres de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Richard Wagner, Alfred Schnittke, Mikael Tariverdiev. De la prose de Vissarion Belinski. Des poèmes de Robert Rojdestvenski, Jacques Prévert, Henri Contet, Caroline Pavlova, Novella Matveïeva et d’autres auteurs. Mais avant tout — des pages des œuvres de Mikhaïl Boulgakov, choisies avec une attention et un amour particuliers. Pour Boulgakov, le théâtre n’était pas seulement une profession et une source d’inspiration, mais une part essentielle de sa vie, de sa vision du monde et, surtout, de sa méthode créative. Ses œuvres sont entièrement imprégnées de théâtralité, et son expérience de dramaturge a profondément influencé toute sa prose. En se tournant vers le roman «Le Maître et Marguerite», il est impossible de ne pas remarquer qu’il s’agit d’une œuvre complexe, à plusieurs niveaux — presque une pièce, avec des personnages marquants, une action rapide et des rebondissements dramatiques inattendus. De nombreux épisodes du roman se perçoivent comme des tableaux scéniques achevés — un véritable théâtre au cœur de la prose. Le nom de Mikhaïl Boulgakov résonne de manière particulièrement symbolique ici, en France. Bien que l’écrivain ne soit jamais allé à Paris, dont il connaissait, rêvait et qu’il ressentait à travers la culture, la littérature et le théâtre européens, la tradition française — de Molière à la poésie du XXᵉ siècle — lui était intérieurement proche par son esprit de liberté, d’ironie et de grotesque tragique. Aujourd’hui, ce lien invisible devient presque tangible : en France vit sa petite-nièce, E.Sedakoff-Boulgakov — gardienne de la mémoire familiale, dont la vie semble prolonger ce fil culturel subtil qui relie Boulgakov à ce pays. Le théâtre était pour lui un véritable miroir de la vie, où il explorait la nature humaine, posait des questions éternelles — et y trouvait des réponses. Munissez-vous d’une pièce d’identité.

Bonjour, et Konnichiwa ! 🇯🇵 Je m’appelle Rica, je suis une Japonaise qui vient de Yokohama et organisatrice de ce groupe. Je vous propose de nous retrouver autour d'un café (ou d'un thé) et de parler japonais ensemble. ☕️
Ouvert à toute personne qui apprend le japonais maintenant ou qui a déjà appris le japonais. Discutons de manière détendue en petit groupe (de 4 participantes maximum) en japonais. Pas de soucis, si vous ne pouvez pas être là dès le début ou jusqu’à la fin. Nous aurons 1 heur de conversation en japonais, et vous pouvez rester 30 minutes supplémentaires si vous souhaitez échanger ou jouer le petite joue japonais sans restriction de langue après cela. 😊 Ce sera une belle occasion de vous exercer à l’oral en japonais, ainsi que de rencontrer d'autres apprenants de japonais qui pourront se motiver, échanger des bonnes idées et information pour apprendre le japonais ou le culture japonais. (Merci de noter que cet événement s’adresse à ceux qui ont déjà une base en japonais. Il n’y aura pas d’explications en français pendant la conversation. Si vous débutez tout juste le japonais, n’hésitez pas à m’écrire — je prévois un autre rendez-vous spécialement pour les vrais débutants !) N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions. J’ai hâte de vous voir ! ✨ 👉Vos consommations sont à vos frais. N’oubliez pas la monnaie ! 👉 Merci d’éviter d’annuler votre participation moins de 24 heures avant l’événement. Merci beaucoup, et à bientôt ! Rica

Nous poursuivons le cycle consacré à Emile Zola et à sa série littéraire "Les Rougon-Macquart" avec le 10e volume : **"Pot-Bouille"** "Zola est entré partout, chez les ouvriers et chez les bourgeois. Chez les premiers, selon lui, tout est visible. La misère comme le plaisir saute aux yeux. Chez les seconds tout est caché. Ils clament : « Nous sommes l'honneur, la morale, la famille. » Faux, répond Zola, vous êtes le mensonge de tout cela. Votre pot-bouille est la marmite où mijotent toutes les pourritures de la famille. Octave Mouret, le futur patron qui révolutionnera le commerce en créant Au Bonheur des Dames, arrive de province et loue une chambre dans un immeuble de la rue de Choiseul. Beau et enjoué, il séduit une femme par étage, découvrant ainsi les secrets de chaque famille. Ce dixième volume des Rougon-Macquart, retraçant la vie sous le Second Empire, c'est ici la bourgeoisie côté rue et côté cour, avec ses soucis de filles à marier, de rang à tenir ou à gagner, coûte que coûte. Les caricatures de Zola sont cruelles mais elles sont vraies." Babelio Pour la présentation d'auteur et le focus sur l'oeuvre : \- Solène fera une présentation selon son choix ; choix qu'elle nous communiquera dès que possible\. * Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre. Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants. Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous êtes sûrs d'être de la partie. Bien à vous tous, bonnes lectures, et à bientôt ! Jélila PS : la cotisation est de 2 euros par personne et par an, mais elle reste facultative et n'est jamais nominative (les frais dus à la plateforme sont de 240 euros par an).

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride!

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
