We are delighted to bring to Hyderabad French “new circus”. In this artistic
form, the acrobats don’t simply show their skills, but also entertain with poetry,
acting and magic. The company “3 fois rien” (3 times nothing) will undoubtedly
amaze all spectators. This performance will take place during the Qadir Ali Baig
Theatre Festival.
November is the month of the Documentary films in France. Hence, we
have prepared a mini-festival of the best films produced recently by reputed
filmmakers.
Don’t miss the Festival Choristers, and our Christmas evening in December,
time to celebrate!
Joyeux Anniversaire to us, Alliance Française Hyderabad turns 34 year old on
15/11!
