When historian Natalie Zemon Davis won the Holberg Prize for Trickster
Travels, her groundbreaking work on “decentering history,” she didn’t
imagine it would inspire a play. Join Dr. Zemon Davis, translator Linda
Gaboriau and Antoni Cimolino, Artistic Director of the Festival and
director of the play, in a discussion of the evolution of Birds of a
Kind, conceived when playwright Wajdi Mouawad was asked to adapt the
book for the stage.
