Time to blow the candles!
The Alliance Française de Penang celebrates its Golden Jubilee this year on 9 June 2012

Tickets now on sale!

Founded in 1962 as a non-profit organization with the support of Malaysians and the French community living in Penang, it has since its inception welcomed thousands of students of all ages studying French and organized countless cultural events to promote the exchange of cultural ties between Malaysia and France.

Be sure to book your evening and to join us to celebrate our 50th anniversary by the beach at the Golden Sands on 9 June 2011. The festivities will include a French dinner (bien sûr!) and a concert by French singer Cécile Corbel.

More details to be revealed soon!

Public reading of Contes sauvages (Deep tales of the Forest) / Book sale and signing
Tuesday, May 29, 5pm @AFpenang

Language: reading in French and Malay. Presentation/Conference in French and English.

Les Contes sauvages présentés ici ont été recueillis à Singapour, mais ils proviennent de tout l’archipel du sud-est asiatique, de Bornéo à Sumatra, en passant par la péninsule malaise. Ils sont, pour l’essentiel d’entre eux, contemporains de La Fontaine et de Molière, et sont à cette région du monde ce que le Roman de Renart est à notre tradition littéraire : un grand roman « comique », où les habitants des Forêts profondes, le malicieux petit chevrotain Kancil en tête, jouent le premier rôle, celui des humains, à qui ils empruntent leurs émotions, leurs ruses, leurs travers... Traduits et adaptés par Georges Voisset, ces textes anciens sont pour la première fois présentés au public français, dans une édition joliment illustrée qui s’adresse à tous les lecteurs, les grands comme les petits.

This collection of traditional animal tales presents a wide range of traditional Mousedeer stories, directly adapted from ancient Malay original versions. The Mousedeer, called Kancil or Pelanduk, is the little hero of the Malay / Indonesian Archipelago, and the stories here trace their ancestry from both sides of the Malacca Straits, and from the XVI° and XVIIth centuries. They are one of the lesser known Asian counterparts to the Western Renard the Fox, or the La Fontaine Fables, with which they indeed share numerous common Indian and Arabo-islamic ancestors. The stories selected range from very famous children tales to a very rare “comic novel”, and therefore will please all public being able to enjoy French.
