Adromake, written by Jon Fosse in an adaptation from Racine’s L’Andromaque, has been staged by director Jean-Marie Lejude from France’s L’oeil du Tigre troupe.

In this version, four French and four Vietnamese actors speak to each other in their native languages with Vietnamese subtitles.

The performance has been co-organised by the theater, along with the French Cultural Centre L’Espace, the L’oeil du Tigre troupe and the Paul Eluard Theatre.

It will be part of the celebration for the 40^th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and France in 2013.

Lejude is accompanied by stage designer Thierry Vareille and assistant director Marine Mane, who have worked with Vietnamese artists over a month.

Last year, the prestigious French director staged La Fontaine Fables for the 50^th anniversary of the Theater and Cinema College.
