Meet Edmond Dede. Born in 1827, trained in Paris, and celebrated in Bordeaux, D\u00e9d\u00e9 remains one of the most fascinating\u2014and long overlooked\u2014figures of his era. His grand opera, Morgiane, believed lost for more than a century, resurfaced recently and finally premiered in 2025 through a collaboration between Opera Creole and Opera Lafayette.<\/p>\n<p>In this multimedia presentation, French filmmaker <strong>Marguerite de Bourgoing<\/strong> shares her ongoing documentary research on D\u00e9d\u00e9, exploring his transatlantic life and examining how France\u2014alongside America\u2014shaped his reception and legacy. Drawing on 19th-century archival texts, intertextual analysis, and clips from her documentary-in-progress, the program traces the myths, omissions, and cultural forces that defined his story, and considers why his rediscovery resonates so powerfully today. Following the presentation, de Bourgoing will be joined in conversation by Sultana Isham\u2014a New Orleans\u2013based scholar, composer, and filmmaker who appears in the documentary\u2014for a discussion on D\u00e9d\u00e9\u2019s enduring significance.<\/p>\n<p><strong data-start=\"294\" data-end=\"326\"><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">Tuesday, <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">March <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">24 <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">at 4<\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">:<\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">30 <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">PM<\/span><\/strong><br data-start=\"326\" data-end=\"329\" \/><strong data-start=\"331\" data-end=\"354\"><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">R\u00e9sidence <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">de <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">France<\/span><\/strong><br data-start=\"354\" data-end=\"357\" \/><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">2406 <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">Prytania <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">Street<\/span><br data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"382\" \/><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">New <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">Or<\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">leans, <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">Loui<\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">siana <\/span><span class=\"BZ_Pyq_fadeIn\">70130<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.accordion__body richtext-entry -->\n\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.accordion__section -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion__section\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion__head\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Toggle accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Dreaming in Cinema: The Life and Legacy of Jean\u00a0Cocteau\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ico\"><\/div><!-- \/.ico -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.accordion__head -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion__body richtext-entry\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Visionary filmmaker and artist Jean Cocteau remains one of the most singular figures in 20th-century art. In this special conversation, preeminent Cocteau scholar<strong> Chlo\u00eb Cassens<\/strong> explores his boundary-defying career and enduring influence on cinema. From the dreamlike imagery of Beauty and the Beast to the mythic modernism of Orpheus, Cassens unpacks how Cocteau transformed poetry into film language\u2014blurring reality and fantasy, theater and cinema, life and art.<\/p>\n<p>Chlo\u00eb Cassens is the representative of the Severin Wunderman collection, the largest in the world of works by the artist Jean Cocteau. Her perspective on Cocteau is singular as she is Wunderman\u2019s granddaughter. An in-demand expert and scholar of Cocteau, she has spoken to audiences at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice; L\u2019Alliance in New York City; the British Film Institute in London; the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles; and many more. Chlo\u00eb received a B.A. in Comparative Literature from Barnard College.
