Peaux de femmes, Inuit and Native tales for Women's Day, Ambarès

Pôle Culturel Évasion

On Friday 12 March 2027 at 20:00 the library of Ambarès-et-Lagrave presents Peaux de femmes at the Pôle Culturel Évasion, on Place de la République, north of Bordeaux. The listing says the evening is held for International Women's Day. It is a solo storytelling show of Inuit and Native American tales that gives a voice to women whose stories, struggles and hopes still resonate strongly today. Between emotion, humour and sensitivity, it explores the many sides of female identity, questions the way women are looked at and celebrates their freedom. The listing calls it a vibrant piece of theatre that invites reflection, sharing and exchange. Entry is free and open to everyone, and booking is advised by phone with the library but not required. The show lasts about an hour and a half. A storytelling evening at a library is a calm and welcoming outing to attend alone, and the subject invites conversation at the end. «Peaux de femmes» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:30.
