National Theatre Live at OKCMOA:
Les Liaisons Dangereuses (in English)

• A thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare. Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs a striking staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated play, starring Oscar nominee Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) and Aidan Turner (Rivals), filmed live on stage at the National Theatre.

• “Pierre Choderlos de Laclos was serving as an artillery officer while writing his epistolary novel about a cold game of seduction in the salons of 18th-century France which backfires on its conniving architects. It shows: love is a fight for power and control in his story, every bit as strategic as a military campaign. Popularly known through the 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons, starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich (and also the teen version of it, 1999’s Cruel Intentions), this production is directed by Marianne Elliott and uses an adaptation by Christopher Hampton – whose play of the novel, first staged in 1985, was also the basis for the film starring Close.

• In English (180 minutes)

Honoring the Memory of
Desa Dawson

The Alliance Française d'Oklahoma City mourns the passing of Desa Dawson, a tireless champion of world languages, a devoted educator, and a foundational leader who helped establish the endowment for the Franco-American educational exchange program in Oklahoma.

The French government recognized her contributions by naming her Chevalier de l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques, one of France's most distinguished honors for service to education and culture.

We extend our deepest condolences to Desa's family, friends, students, and to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

The endowment she helped create will endure. The program she helped build will continue to thrive. And the relationships she made possible will deepen with each new generation of scholars. That is Desa’s legacy — lasting, far-reaching, and profoundly meaningful.

Rest in peace, dear friend.

Sirât – 2026 Oscar-Nominated Film at OKCMOA

• A 2026 Oscar nominee and winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, this visionary road movie from Galician filmmaker Oliver Laxe follows a father’s desperate search for his missing daughter within a nomadic raver community roaming the deserts of southern Morocco.

• In Spanish, French, English, and Arabic with English subtitles. (115 minutes)

• “The glorious and forbidding Moroccan desert provides the backdrop for this extraordinary psychological journey from Oliver Laxe (Fire Will Come), a Galician filmmaker of startling ambition. Sergi López plays middle-aged Luis, whose worry over the disappearance of his daughter Mar has brought him, along with his young son, to Morocco. He believes she has fallen in with a group of nomadic thrill-seekers who are in pursuit of the next big rave in the desert. Tagging along with them in a makeshift caravan in the hopes he will find Mar, Luis is pushed toward emotional and physical extremes that extend far past his everyday comprehension. Even beyond the pulsing techno soundtrack and the majestic desolation of the landscape, Sirāt (the title referring to the Islamic term for the razor-thin bridge between heaven and hell) creates a sensory experience of audacity and shock that touches the sublime. Joint winner of the Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.” -New York Film Festival

• A 2026 Academy Award nominee for Best Sound and International Feature (Spain).

• Hélène, ex-commissaire de police, reprend du service pour retrouver un couple et leur petit garçon, Milo. Elle rencontre les dernières personnes à avoir été en contact avec eux. Depuis que la France a basculé dans l’ère de la Transparence, ces hommes et ces femmes vivent dans un monde harmonieux, libéré du mal, où chacun évolue sous le regard protecteur de ses voisins. Mais au cours de son enquête, Hélène va dévoiler une vérité aussi surprenante que terrifiante.

• À travers cette contre-utopie, c’est le monde d’aujourd’hui que l’autrice interroge. Ce roman haletant montre des êtres en proie à leurs pulsions et à leurs fêlures derrière leur apparente perfection.
