Friday Movie Club @ Cholamandal presents Film: BBC Modern Masters - Andy Warhol
The first in a four-part series exploring the life and works of the 20th century's artists: Matisse; Picasso; Dali
and Warhol. In this episode on Andy Warhol, Sooke explores the king of Pop Art. On his journey he parties
with Dennis Hopper, has a brush with Carla Bruni and comes to grips with Marilyn. Along the way he uncovers
just how brilliantly Andy Warhol pinpointed and portrayed our obsessions with consumerism, celebrity and
the media. This film will be screened on 31st October, 2014 at 7.00 pm - 8.30 pm. at Cholamandal Centre for
Contemporary Art (CCCA), Cholamandal Artists’ Village, Injambakkam, ECR, Chennai – 600 115. Entry is free.

Entertainment – Theatre
3 x Rien – A Poetic Circus Show
In this dramatic production, three French artists Lenaïg Fannière, David Cluzaud, and Pierre Cluzaud, will take
to the stage with their unique fairy setting and costumes to enthrall and enchant the audience. The three of
them make up “Trois Fois rien” or “Three Times Nothing”, essentially a circus company.
These acrobats break the traditions of professional circus as we know it, to bring to you their magnificent
production. The show is a dazzling meeting between three characters: they seem to come from another time,
they are the kind whose bodies shoot up but who continue wearing childhood’s wisdom – and its multicolour
pants. Moves and music are smoothly coordinated, thanks to a magical clarinet, played by a graceful girl while
the mischievous twins try in vain to distract her and tease out her secrets … Throughout the show, the
acrobats will use several accessories, each more astonishing than the other. The chances are all eyes will be
grabbed by these big boxes on which the artists will try to keep their balance, swinging from a side to another,
dangerously flirting with the edge… They climb up on high or hide themselves away in secret spots. Then they
jump out of their boxes like demonic jacks-in-the-box and throw themselves into competing for the spot of
‘Most Audacious’. Constantly working at pushing their boundaries, they bring to you a show that promises a
poetic circus with scenes like you’ve never seen before.
FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. Passes available at the reception of the Alliance Française of Madras
At 7:30pm on 5th of November at Sir Mutha Venkatasubba Rao Concert Hall, Harrington Road, Chetpet.
