Deeply touched by the documentary film made by Edgar Morin and Jean Rouch in 1960, “Chronique d’un été”, the first French experiment in cinema vérité, Justine Lequette and the actors take up the film’s key questions, directed at passers-by, students, workers, employees and immigrants, whose interviews were sometimes continued in a more intimate setting. These questions, about happiness, life, work, utopias are now asked by them in a society which, fifty-eight years down the line, has stayed the same and, at the same time, has changed a great deal.
Putting these two periods into perspective, they also draw on documentary sequences by Pierre Carles, extracts from plays by Alexandra Badea and improvisations by the actors to focus on the meaning of our existence, in an aesthetic that, despite being inspired by real life situations, always develops a point of view and a playful dimension.

Théâtre des Martyrs

22 Place des Martyrs 1000

Placé aujourd’hui sous la direction artistique de Philippe Sireuil, le Théâtre des Martyrs se définit aujourd’hui comme un théâtre mais pluriel, une scène et des artistes. Il affirme ainsi le métissage des origines de cet art né à côté du forum grec ou sur le parvis de l’église médiévale et dont il est l’un des multiples héritiers, reprenant le témoin de cet art qui, de tout temps, a recélé toutes les peines et toutes les joies, tous les conflits et tous les débats de notre condition humaine, rires et larmes mêlés. Il comporte deux salles de spectacles : la grande salle, dite à l’italienne entre 255 (parterre) et 356 places (avec le balcon) et la petite salle destinée à des projets plus intimistes.
