I Am Cuba (Soy Cuba) Opens
Friday, Mar 22, 2019 various times - English
I AM CUBA (SOY CUBA) is one of the landmarks of world cinema, first revealed to American audiences 30 years after its production. Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov, born in Georgia and praised for THE CRANES ARE FLYING (1957), set out to create a Cuban film as powerful as Eisenstein’s BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN, a rallying point for a nascent revolution. With a script by the Soviet Union’s internationally famed poet Yevgeni Yevtushenko and Cuban author Enrique Pineda Barnet, the film is divided into four sections: “Ugly American” tourists taking advantage of Cuban women’s poverty, the anguish of a tenant farmer whose land has been sold to the United Fruit Company, the optimistic actions of a student revolutionary, and the decision by another peasant to join the revolutionary forces after his home has been destroyed by government planes.

Pardon My French
- A French Cabaret Show in English
- by and with Tangi Colombel
“Pardon My French” is an unorthodox French Cabaret Show, in English bien sur. A one-of-a-kind performance with classic Parisian songs, Gallic humor and just the right amount of jokes that will make you blush.
Show more >>
Pardon my French is filled with classic French songs like “C’est magnifique”, “C’est si bon”, “If you go away” and songs from French related movies like “Gigi”, “An American in Paris”, “Let’s make love”....
But don’t think for a second that it is only another tribute to Colombel’s French heritage, not! Tangi adds his own flavor, his “Ameri-French” sense of humor and this “je ne sais quoi” that will make you ask for more!
Some material may be inappropriate for a younger audience.
Tickets: $25 - $30
Tickets available online or at the door. Box office opens 60 minutes before showtime.
