Gisèle Halimi, a fierce freedom

Théâtre-récit, directed by Léna Paugam, duration: 1h15.

Welcome at 7:15pm, with a presentation of the theater and the play.
The show starts at 8pm, followed by an edge of the stage.

Gisèle Halimi's struggles began early: at the age of fifteen, she resolutely refused the arranged marriage her parents were forcing on her. Her strength of character in patriarchal Jewish Tunisia would enable her to weather other storms. As a lawyer in the midst of the Algerian war, she denounced the torture practiced by the French army. As an activist, she signed the manifesto of the 343 women who made their abortions public. Here, reality doesn't need the help of fiction: there are few destinies like this one. A show that is also, perhaps first and foremost, a tribute.

As part of the Culturesponsable program, and in partnership with Domaine d'O's public relations department.

This event is part of the "Journées d'actions contre les violences faites aux femmes" (Days of action against violence against women).
