Long before modern horror cinema, the Grand Guignol was making audiences scream.

Join Post Mortem Players for "Vive le Grand-Guignol!", a special one-night celebration of Paris's legendary Théâtre du Grand-Guignol and its lasting influence on horror.

The evening begins at 6:30 PM with a French-inspired reception featuring pastries from Concord's Chocolatier Barrucand. At 7:00 PM, see Severin Films’ new documentary "Theatre of Horrors: The Sordid Story of Paris’ Grand Guignol" on the big screen, followed by a live panel featuring Grand Guignol scholar and author Richard J. Hand (co-author of four volumes on Grand-Guignol horror theatre), filmmaker and producer Robert Parigi ("Love Object," "Tales from the Crypt," "Freddy’s Nightmares"), and Charlotte writer, actor, and horror-film veteran Pat Moran, exploring the theatre’s history, influence, and enduring legacy.

The event also supports the campaign to create a permanent memorial for Maxa, the Grand Guignol's legendary leading lady and the world's first Scream Queen, who is currently buried in an unmarked grave outside Paris.

Presented by Post Mortem Players, the Charlotte area's award-winning horror theatre. This event is made possible in part through an Arts & Science Council Venue Access Grant.

Enter a world where movement creates an experience like no other, where the pointe shoe itself becomes percussion and where every step resonates with rhythm and meaning. This exciting program features the return of Mthuthuzeli November’s From Africa With Love, alongside Artistic Director Alejandro Cerrudo’s Dos y Dos y Dos, the first work he created for Charlotte Ballet. Completing the evening is a new creation by German American duo FLOCK, inspired by the phoenix and humanity’s enduring love of storytelling, exploring themes that continue to resonate across time. Together, these works deliver a captivating performance in an intimate setting alive with energy, emotion, and moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Flat Footed Truths: Stories of Lived Experiences is a juried quilt exhibition featuring quilts and fiber art that depict the soul-stirring, truth-telling, and compelling stories of African American women.

This exhibit is named and influenced by the book written by Patricia Bell-Scott, Flat Footed Truths: Telling Black Women’s Lives. These stories and the truths they tell come to life in this unforgettable exhibit.

Co-curated by Francene V. Greene and Michelle Curney Willis.
