Perhaps you're thinking this title makes no sense. Molière and Racine were playwrights, and contemporaries, but ... Cajun cooking? The connection: you can enjoy all of the above this and next week here at BYU.Thursday, WSC Garden Court @ 6:30 pm: Madi Gras Mask Contest and Cajun Cook-off.
I don't want to misrepresent anything, so I'm going take this straight from the flier.
"Jambalaya, Gumbo, Crawfish pies, Shrimp étouffé. Enter your avorite cajun dish/dessert (with recipe) and/or a Mardi Gras mask for PRIZES!!!"
There it is, amis. Now remember, if you aren't a Le Club member, that's cool, you can still come! There is only a $3.00 charge at the door for you; this time, however, you can get that small fee waved by bringing a cooking contest entry!
Thursday, B092 JFSB @ 11:00 am: French & Italian Department Symposium on Molière.
Dr. Michael Call will be presenting on, "The School for Libraires? Molière's Late Plays and the Triumph of Authorship." He is a professor in department of Humanities, Classics and Comparative Literature. You know you can make it, because this symposium is during the hour left void by devotionals: 11:00 am on Thursday.
Racine's Bérénice:
The snippet on at the webstie (http://www.byuarts.com/brochure/): Amidst the political turmoil of Ancient Rome, Emperor Titus must choose between his throne and his love for Bérénice, the queen of Palestine. Racine's classic drama boasts one of the great heroines of the stage and affirms his reputation as the undisputed champion of French drama and established a model for playwriting that influenced centuries of writers to come.
