AFSeattle will participate in this global celebration featuring philosophical debates, performances, and readings across over 20 cities. Launched in the US in 2015 by the French Embassy, the Night of Ideas invites thought leaders to discuss a central question addressing contemporary global issues. AFSeattle joined for the first time in 2023 and continued our involvement in 2024, making Seattle a key part of this event. Help us expand our presence in 2025!
The AFSeattle is partnering with Théatre Raymond Kabbaz in Los Angeles to present the US 2025 tour of Portrait of Ludmilla as Nina Simone. This play offers a musical portrait of Nina Simone, blending documentary-style interviews with her iconic songs to explore her journey from a blocked classical career to a civil rights icon. With Ludmilla Dabo embodying Simone’s spirit and a guitar replacing the piano to symbolize the racism she faced, the performance intertwines personal and political narratives, creating a vivid tribute to both Simone and Dabo.
Text and direction : David Lescot
Songs : Nina Simone
With Ludmilla Dabo and David Lescot
"Ludmilla Dabo embodies Nina Simone with dazzling talent, delivering a vibrant and powerful performance in David Lescot's tailor-made
show that blends music, femininity, and the profound legacy of the soul diva."
–Le Monde
"David Lescot and Ludmilla Dabo form a perfect duo, delivering a powerful, politically resonant performance that revives Nina Simone's
legacy with a seamless blend of music, theater, and profound artistic connection."
–Télérama
Each year, with the support of our sponsors and donors, we expand our scholarship program to help French learners and families in need who might not otherwise access foreign-language education. Our scholarships are available to all Washington state residents, whether they study online or in person. While most are partial, we offer a few full scholarships on a case-by-case basis. We prioritize families in need but also support adults pursuing their educational goals. In the 2023-2024 school year, we awarded 30 scholarships to students of various ages in need.
This grant kickstarts innovative projects exploring and encouraging French and bilingual education, conceptualized and executed by our youth students. Our 2023 grant recipient is bringing a French Little Library to Wallingford!
