Two prestigious events scheduled to close Festival Transcaucases 20/21
Transcaucases Festival 20/21
The Transcaucases Festival returns to Inalco, with a series of cultural and scientific events devoted to the Caucasus, as lived, perceived, studied, fantasized, told by artists, researchers, travelers and field workers. The Transcaucases Festival aspires to disciplinary openness across several fields of artistic and cultural creation, and to the decompartmentalization of the region's cultures. Through this varied programming, the 20/21 edition of the Festival Transcaucases enables exchanges by exploring different fields of artistic and scientific creation.
Debate screening "Je prends ta peine" by Anne Consigny on December 8 at 7:30pm
Je prends ta peine (2019). A film written and directed by Anne Consigny.
1h06
In 2014, Anne Consigny rents a room in her Paris apartment. Two Armenian women - a mother and daughter - move in with her. Narine, 26, is beautiful. She is suffering from cancer. She has come to Paris for treatment. Anne Consigny stays with them for five months. She makes their struggle her struggle, through remission and descent into hell. Narine died in Paris on November 4.
Between Paris and Yerevan, Anne Consigny wanted to retrace the story of these two women, of their love at first sight as chosen sisters, even though they shared neither the same language nor the same culture. Beyond the story of this young woman who dies without having lived, and the love of a mother, this is a film about commitment, about those elective affinities that bring together beings whom everything opposes and distances, about the bonds of the heart sometimes stronger than the bonds of blood, about sacrifice and solidarity, about dignity.
The screening will be followed by a meeting with actress and director Anne Consigny.

Patrizia Metzler is artistic director of the Bach Collegium Paris and the Inalco choir.
Born in Berlin, Patrizia Metzler began her studies in the German capital before deepening her knowledge of musicology, with a particular focus on works from the Baroque period, at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Her research culminated in a doctoral dissertation that brought to light new influences particularly fruitful for understanding the formal structures found in J.-S. Bach's choral movements and arias. This thesis enabled her to obtain a doctorate in conducting and choral literature in 2007. She has lectured in France and the United States.
