"The Lens of Now": Interview with Lucie Tiberghien, Founding Artistic Director of Molière in the Park

Abstract:This wide-ranging interview with Lucie Tiberghien, Founding Artistic Director of Molière in the Park, covers topics including: Tiberghien's interest in Brooklyn as a site of production and performance for the theatre organization; strategies to overcome the challenges raised by the Covid-19 pandemic – particularly the move to an online platform – and how this shift to the digital led to new ways of thinking about theatre publics, performance, and the making of theatre; the question of representation in casting; and how Molière in the Park makes anti-racist and inclusive theatre with plays written during the early modern period.
