French Studies Program Presents

Proust In One Hour

In this performance, I try to summarize Proust's beloved In Search of Lost Time with my own words, as a story of another time which reveals itself contemporary.

Véronique Aubouy has directed numerous short fiction films and documentaries (Albertine a disparu, 2018; Micaëla Henich, 2017; Je suis Annemarie Schwarzenbach, 2015, among many others). Since October 1993, she has been working on Proust Lu, and films people from all walks of life as they read Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, page after page, in a large array of settings. The first six volumes have been recorded to date, for a total of 140 hours and more than 1300 readers. Since 2011, Abouy has performed various versions of “Proust in One Hour”, in French and in English, in France, Italy, the UK and the USA.
