Hidden Poisons or Culinary Delights – A Dialogue between a Chef and a Scientist
By Gilles-Eric Séralini and Jérôme Douzelet
Monday 28 January – 6.30 pm – Variety Theatre
At a time when gastronomy occupies a vital place in our society, the quality of the products used does not measure up to that demanded by the flavours and creativity of recipes.
In light of this public health issue, Gilles-Eric Séralini, a professor and researcher at the University of Caen who specialises in genetically modified organisms and pesticides, and head chef Jérôme Douzelet decided to come together to speak out about the processes for evaluating chemical products and to take a fresh look at the rich variety of natural flavours.
Yves Saint Laurent – A Moroccan Passion
By Björn Dahlström, Director of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent in Marrakech
Monday 4 February – 6.30 pm – Variety Theatre
“In Morocco, I understood that my colour palette was that of zellige mosaic tiles, brightly painted wooden zouacs, djellabas and kaftans. The bold choices which have become mine, I owe to this country, to its violent harmonies, insolent mixes, fervent inventions. This culture has become mine, but I have not been content to import it, I have annexed, transformed and adapted it.” (Yves Saint Laurent, 1983).
Rethinking Francophonie
By Alain Mabanckou
Thursday 27 June – 6.30 pm - Théâtre Princesse Grace
As he rethinks the French-speaking world (Francophonie), Alain Mabanckou offers an insight into the events which have left their mark on the history of France, the French language and French-language literature. He shares with us the ideology and values that he associates with the very concept of Francophonie.
