Meet the Barbarians
April 13, 2.00 and 7.30 pm
at Hudson Village Theatre
The town council of Paimpont — a small village in Brittany — has unanimously voted in favour of welcoming a family of Ukrainian refugees. However, the refugees who turn up aren’t Ukrainian but Syrian, and some of the locals are not very pleased with their new neighbors. Yet the Fayad family avoids all the clichés the French villagers may have expected. So much so that, they leave one wondering: who in this little village are the true ‘barbarians’? It’s hard to imagine that director Julie Delpy could make something unexpectedly lovely out of so much fear and malice. But by keeping the words sharp and the tone light, she ultimately achieves her goal.
