  • Ricardo Soltero-Brown: IMPRESSIONS OF PARIS by Nora Louise Syran
    “

    Nora Louise Syran's IMPRESSIONS OF PARIS is a passel of history, art, and art history. The style - of design and performance, both - gleam off the page rendering the theatricality almost pristine in one's imagination. The atmosphere is delightful in ways that feel at turns naughty and inspiring. NLS weaves song and dance into the lyrical script, but its hardly in the margins of Valadon's story, rather the numbers become part of Valadon's expression; her expression being NLS's major achievement.

    Thank you Nora Louise Syran for opening my eyes to the world of the Impressionists, 19th century Paris, and the life of Suzanne Valadon. Wonderful storytelling, beautiful music, and vibrant imagery all come together in a completely engaging theatrical experience. I would absolutely love to see this on stage!

    The stage has so much potential to express, illustrate, and explore - few plays utilize this potential more effectively than Nora Syran's IMPRESSIONS OF PARIS. At once a docudrama, a multi-media feast, and an art-historian's delight, this work of art immerses you in the world of the impressionists and speaks powerfully to the challenges and triumphs of those called to be artists. Lovingly crafted, impeccably researched and impressive in its scope, Syran's play is destined to be realized on the stage, and to reach audiences the world over. Fabulous work!

    Nora Syran has such a gift for creating plays that are more than plays - they are layered, immersive sensory experiences that fully transport you to a time and place... even if the place is a liminal gathering of the greatest artistic minds of the 19th and early 20th century! It's almost more collage (or impression?!) than play, moving swiftly through the years. Throughout we are treated to a glimpse of the art world through the unique POV of larger-than-life artist Suzanne Valadon. The relationships are complex, and characters are allowed to be messy! A work of art about art!
