...awareness is key in HRDC’s production of “The Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol,” which will run from April 6-8 and April 11-14 at the Loeb Mainstage. MULTIMEDIA, WITH SMELLS The play follows the life of a poor French countrywoman through the first half of the 20th century, from birth to the afterlife. Lucie, a social outcast, searches for love and acceptance. Although departing from the traditional emphasis on Lucie’s physique, this production nonetheless is very concerned with physicality through movement. Besides a mobile set?...
...recently fell in love with Keren Ann’s song “Que N’ai-Je” from her Nolita album. The unfortunately-named Keren Ann is an Israeli-born French singer/songwriter and her voice has a totally sexy vulnerability reminiscent of her fellow countrywoman Carli Bruni. I love the variety of styles she pulls off successfully—from the Radiohead-like “Que N’ai Je” to the bluesy feel of “Road Bin.” My favorite record right now is German producer...

First to survive was German librarian Gunda Niemann, who had finished seventh in the event at Calgary. Niemann carries not a teddy bear but a judo doll to each competition, and it brought her luck. She shot from the starting line faster than countrywoman Heike Warnicke and won the 3,000 m going away by a comfortable three seconds. Back in the pack, but victorious in a different sort of race, with no finish line, was American Mary Docter. She caused a pre- Olympic sensation with the admission that she was battling an addiction to drugs and alcohol. Docter finished...
...Beach Review watching public prosecutor Moira Lasch's performance. Minutes later, a camera crew from the German weekly Der Spiegel wanders in, ostensibly to film a roomful of American journalists watching the televised trial. Little do they know that one of the people they are filming is a fellow countrywoman. Thus the Germans from Der Spiegel have flown thousands of miles to cover the coverage of the trial, and end up with footage of a German reporter from Stern watching an American TV, while the trial takes place 300 yards away. Sacco and Vanzetti...
