Kaatsbaan Cultural Park presents New Work Preview: Baldwin et Lucien

Experience the Broadway-bound original play (with music) Baldwin et Lucien by playwright and actor R. Jahan. Set in the winter of 1952 in a secluded chalet in Loeche-les-Bains, Switzerland, Baldwin et Lucien is a surrealist drama that imagines an intimate chapter in the life of a young James Baldwin and his one true love, Lucien Happersberger. Moving fluidly between memory, fantasy, and emotional confrontation, the play explores race, exile, queer love, language barriers, artistic creation, and the haunting presence of the past.
