Théâtre : "Danton et Robespierre les racines de la liberté"
By Hugues Le Forestier. La Réplique-31-Toulouse Theater Company. Historical play. Performance at La Petite Scène Theater - Cougousse
March 22, 1794: the bourgeois Revolution of 1789 is a distant memory. There is no longer a king or a church; war rages everywhere, from the borders to the heart of the country. A spiral of violence and terror had begun. Danton and Robespierre, the two giants of the Revolution, met for a final showdown. In the shadow of the guillotine, a fratricidal struggle erupts over the values of liberty and equality, illuminated by a wild hope for fraternity.
Between Danton—an exuberant and spontaneous giant, a lover of pleasure, a defender of women’s rights—and Robespierre—an elegant and unyielding ascetic, a philosopher of the Revolution—a duel to the death is about to unfold. Two conceptions of life, two visions of happiness, divide these two legendary friends.
Starring Alain Courmont and Bernard Meyer. Directed by Giselle Grange.
