Event Overview

A performance in French with English subtitles, featuring music and storytelling of Nina Simone, by Ludmilla Dabo and David Lescot. Ludmilla Dabo, accompanied by Molière Award-winning writer, director, and musician David Lescot, sings a moving, intimate, and dazzling portrait of Nina Simone, the iconic “High Priestess of Soul.” Through the legendary singer’s music and life story, intertwined with personal stories from Dabo’s own life, Dabo charts Simone’s journey from young musical prodigy to her role as a major figure in the civil rights movement. In this unique performance fusing jazz, soul, and storytelling, Dabo is “Nina Simone reincarnated… A talent that explodes,” according to Le Monde.

The Alliance Française de Seattle is excited to welcome this production to Seattle for one night only to celebrate International Women’s Day.

David Lescot, playwright/director and musician is an artist associé with Théâtre de la Ville, Paris.
