6:30-8:00 : Hugo Live with Alain Lecompte (Free; open to the public)
(Chapel [map - building 38]) :
Through his engrossing concert HUGO LIVE, Québecois singer and songwriter Alain Lecompte presents the legendary Victor Hugo with humor and sensitivity. By thoughtfully and imaginatively setting 27 French poems to original music, Alain Lecompte introduces us to the famous poet and social critic, author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. Much more than a simple compilation of songs, this 90-minute musical tells the story of Hugo’s life and loves, his deep belief in liberty and peace, and the power of his convictions in the face of tyranny. Concert program notes in English summarize each poem’s meaning while explaining how it fits within Hugo’s life and thought, making this world music event accessible to non-French speakers, as well as to beginning French students.
