Esther

By the company L’Astrolabe
Show created in partnership with the Rivesaltes Camp Memorial during an artistic residency in May 2023.

Opening of the event by Philippe Augé, President of the University of Montpellier.

Based on the testimony of Esther Senot, a survivor of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp who is now 97 years old, this show offers a sensitive and deeply human approach to the memory of the genocide. It paints a portrait of a free woman who, after enduring horror and absurdity, was able to transform her suffering into a force for life, without ever losing faith in humanity.

Much more than a simple collection of words, this eponymous show is the result of a rare and precious encounter between the memory of the unspeakable and artistic expression.

The show will be followed by a meet-and-greet.
The evening will end with a convivial gathering.

Open to the general public.
Limited number of places available.
