Bronx en Seine is a unique artistic adventure that allows two groups of students, ages 12 to 17, from Nanterre and the Bronx to immerse themselves in the performing arts, experience different cultures, and practice their foreign language skills. 

Through artistic expression, the project seeks to expand participants’ horizons and to immerse them in different cultures and communities. We hope this broadening of perspectives inspires our young people to stand up against oppression and discrimination in their societies, encouraging them to use their voices to talk back to the world.  

In its second year, teens in Bronx en Seine participated in a series of theater workshops and will perform a piece inspired by Sandra Cisneros’s beloved novel The House on Mango Street.

We believe that theater is a particularly powerful tool for building self-awareness and identity as it helps young people develop a strong voice and point of view on social change within and across different communities.  An Attic Full of Hope (Fr. Un grenier plein d’espoir), is a symbolic representation of the adolescent quest for liberty and the struggles faced by immigrant communities.

Please join us July 14th in the Florence Gould Hall at the French Institute: Alliance Française (FIAF) at 7:30pm for the last NYC performance of Bronx En Seine’s original devised theatre piece: An Attic Full of Hope!  There will also be a matinee performance at 2:30pm. Both are free and open to the general public!
