"Quelque part en Indochine, sous un soleil qui brûle et une pluie qui noie, une famille s'accroche à une terre ingrate et à des rêves impossibles. Marguerite Duras nous invite dans un monde où la beauté et la cruauté se confondent, où l'on rit de ce qui se brise, où l'on chante de ce que l'on ne peut pas dire."

Performed by students of French, this production explores themes of memory, obsession, and the fragile boundaries between love and survival. Through a poetic and visual approach, the piece reflects on the risks of pursuing impossible dreams and the intensity of familial bonds.

Join us for an evening of theatre that is both intimate and thought-provoking.

Guided by Amy and Andrew Mangini, founders of Andiamo Market, guests will explore a curated selection of premium olive oils inspired by the coastal regions of Italy and the Mediterranean. Discover the art of olive oil tasting, learn how flavor profiles vary by region and production methods, and experience how this timeless ingredient brings people together around the table.

Rooted in a love of travel, culture, and culinary traditions, Andiamo Market blends Texan spirit with Mediterranean flair—creating experiences centered around connection, conversation, and good food. This special evening at Alliance Française de Houston invites guests to slow down, savor, and share in the warmth of Mediterranean living.

Enjoy tastings, light bites, and an atmosphere inspired by the simple elegance of Mediterranean hospitality.
