Theatre - "De Gaulle apparaît en songe à Emmanuel Macron"
Thursday 30, Friday 31 January and Saturday 1 February at 8 pm, Sunday 2 February at 4.30 pm, Théâtre des Muses
In a daydream, a decidedly chipper saviour of France takes Macron to task. Perhaps the great De Gaulle has some answers? Some advice to offer?
Or maybe some criticisms? "So, young man, how fares France today, the vast world, the English, the Chinese, the Americans? And the people of France, have you told them you understand what they were telling you?"
This Voltarian tale looks at what has changed in the last five decades, and asks whether there can still be a meaningful dialogue between our present and our recent past, the age before globalisation and smartphones.
