Set to music by film score composer George Delerue, Je me souviens...I remember... takes the audience on a journey to the worlds of memory, childhood, family, love remembered, loss, and farewells.  With a multi-generational cast of nine members ranging from 9-67 years of age, Je me souviens…I remember… incorporates modern and classical dance styles with the pedestrian and theatrical.  This evening presents part three of the piece in its entirety, as well as selections from parts one and two.  Excerpts from Pascale Cuenot’s new documentary film In the Tracks of Georges Delerue will also be shown as part of the evening’s presentation.
