Théâtre d'hiver au Château

Philippe Durand, an author and actor with a passion for collective narratives, takes us on a journey through a little-known but deeply inspiring story: that of the Soci%E9t%E9 des Terres du Larzac. This one-man show does not revisit the famous struggle of the 1970s, but rather explores what it helped bring into being: a model of collective agricultural land management that is unique in Europe. Here, there are no landowners: the farmers manage their own land, champion agriculture on a human scale, and take control of their future—together. A concrete, living utopia that challenges our relationship to property, to the collective, and to the land.%A0

Based on testimonies gathered in the field, Philippe Durand lends his voice to those who bring this adventure to life. His language is vivid, his performance brimming with humanity. His words are funny, incisive, and poetic. His eyes sparkle, and his thoughts strike with simplicity and precision. A generous, committed, and luminous theatrical experience.
