Prof. Felwine Sarr: How Do We Free Those Who Are Already Free?
African scholars Dr. Felwine Sarr (Romance) and Dorcy Rugamba seek to answer this question with the musical theatre performance Freedom, I’ll have lived your dream until the very last day. The theme, “Life that desires to be life. Life that persists and soars. How do we free those who are already free?” is the final question of their performance (in French with English subtitles) that happened at the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) Florence Gould Hall Theater on September 24, 2022 at the Crossing the Line Festival. Professor Sarr used the stage as his platform to celebrate Black identity and pay homage to his philosophical influences.
