Theater Night: “Stupeur et tremblements” (Fear and trembling) Gripping stage performance based on Amélie Nothomb’s bestselling novel Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française 1999 – Éditions Albin Michel Adapted, Staged and Interpreted by Layla Metssitane Play in French with English subtitles. (75 min) About the “Stupeur et tremblements” (Fear and trembling): Winter 1990. In Brussels, Amélie Nothomb has finished her studies in medieval roman philology. She decides to travel back to Japan in order to work, a country she knows since she was born there. She gets a one year work contract for the Yumimoto company. This job, more than she hope for, will bring her many surprises, from which she will learn various lessons... The main character is, of course, Amélie Nothomb herself, who writes autobiographically. Fear and trembling is a humble, funny and intelligent point of view from a young woman confronted to a new world. The message it carries could be : Let’s observe and listen carefully, before we hastily judge the Other. The play is part of the French Literature and Arts Festival organized by the Alliance Française San Diego (AFSD).
