Mémoire Commune
A character, directly addressing the viewer, attempts, through his or her knowledge, a historical reflection on the Paris Commune of 1871. A series of five tableaux retraces the major phases of the events. First comes the analysis of the Second Empire. Then comes the fall of the Empire and the proclamation of the Republic on September 4, 1870. Based on texts by Jules Vallès, several actors evoke the event in the contemporary setting of the large housing estates of Bobigny. The third part deals with the period October-March 1871, during which the people of Paris felt, little by little, betrayed by the government. Finally, March 18 is the revolutionary day. Inspired by Bertold Brecht's "Days of the Commune," actors perform the episode "Madame Cabet's Canon." The fifth part, entitled "Two or Three Things I Know About Her," directly evokes the work of the Commune, building and imagining a better world...
