On Thursday, April 5 th , FSC's international film series will feature The Eighth Day , a 1996 Belgian film, which explores the relationship between Georges, who has Down's syndrome and lives at a mental institution, and Harry, a busy businessman, whose relationships with his own wife and children are stressed. Presented by fourteen Fairmont State students with various musical backgrounds, and members of the Kitchen Sink Dance troupe from Clarksburg, the performance will include numbers from Stomp , Percussionality , Samba Macabre , and other pieces.
