The Life Henri
Still Your Friend—Dragon Arts Collective
For a while, we weren’t sure if we were talking about Henri, or Carrie, or Monet—I have very fond memories of Monet from the museum in Paris and it was quite a tease before we moved into the life of Henri Rousseau. Who? Yeah, that’s what I thought for a while too.
Normally, biographies focus on true heroes and great accomplishments—this one continues to zoom in on deficiencies and short-comings of the protagonist! Through the presentation, I couldn’t grow to like the main character, leaving me to wonder why presenter Bailey chose Rousseau in the first place!
In the end, Bailey’s an accomplished speaker; coupled with some giggles, this is a show well worth seeing.
Warning: this venue requires 45 steps up several flights of stairs—the strong air conditioning provides a nice reward after your ascent.
