Gisèle Halimi, a fierce advocate for freedom

Theater-narrative, directed by Léna Paugam, duration: 1 hour 15 minutes.

The reception will begin at 7:15 p.m. with a presentation of the theater and the play.
The show will begin at 8 p.m. and will be followed by a post-show discussion.

Gisèle Halimi's struggles began early: at the age of fifteen, she resolutely refused the arranged marriage her parents had imposed on her. Her strength of character in patriarchal Jewish Tunisia would enable her to weather other storms. As a lawyer during the Algerian War, she denounced the torture practiced by the French army. As an activist, she signed the manifesto of 343 women who made their abortions public. Here, reality needs no help from fiction: there are few destinies like this one. A show that is also, perhaps above all, a tribute.

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

This event is part of the "Days of Action Against Violence Against Women" campaign.
