Alliance Française of Durban regrets that
due to circumstances beyond their control, the venue for the Francofête Human
Rights Day Festival (6th Edition) has had to be changed from Sutton Park to Alliance
Française de Durban, 22 Sutton Crescent, (opposite Sutton Park) in Morningside.
“We apologise for any inconvenience this
may cause, however, we look forward welcoming the public to our premises and to
participate in the activities planned for the day,” says an Alliance
spokesperson.
There are two parts to the Festival – a
matinee family event from 11h00 until 13h00 and an afternoon music concert
featuring an array of francophone world music, from 13h30 until 16h00.
Programme:
From 11h00 onwards, there will be family
activities at the Alliance Française of Durban. There will be a full programme on
the Assitej youth stage - cartoon characters, gumboot dance, poetry,
story-telling and music. In the Alliance there will be a series of activities
facilitated by MC, Ian Ewok Robinson.
To ensure that festival goers won’t go
hungry, the Fusion French Café will be selling French delicacies and local
cuisine.
The afternoon will start with a free music
concert from 13h30 which will feature iconic Malian band, BKO Quintet. Also on
the bill is SA ROY / Forest Jam– a seven piece innovative Swiss / Malagasy
music collaboration.
Bring friends, family, enjoy the music, taste
some authentic cuisine and take time to relax.
Alliance Française de Durban is situated at
22 Sutton Crescent, (opposite Sutton Park) in Morningside.
