Fraternity, A Fantastic Tale by Caroline Guila Nguyen at NYU Skirball

Caroline Guiela Nguyen is a French author, playwright, film and theater director. She invites non-professional and professional actors from different social, geographical, cultural and spiritual backgrounds to take part in her creations, so that worlds meet and audiences discover a common ground.  

In the American premiere of Caroline Guiela Nguyen’s Fraternity, A Fantastic Tale, an ensemble of professional and amateur actors, ranging in age from 16 to 79, take the audience on a fantastic journey. During an abnormal incident, part of the human race disappears from the planet. Those who remain attempt to heal and make sense of this unexpected loss; they now navigate their world without partners, relatives and friends.

Co-presented by the Institut français Alliance française (FIAF) Crossing The Line Festival 2022.
