Opérette à Ravensbrück

February 13 @ 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm

€12

Got an incredible event to share with you that’s both inspiring and thought-provoking! 🎭

Imagine a remarkable operetta born from the most tragic of circumstances – meet “Une Opérette à Ravensbrück.” Inspired by the incredible resilience and spirit of Germaine Tillion, an ethnologist and French resistance fighter who defied the Nazis and brought laughter to the darkest moments.

Germaine Tillion’s powerful quote, “I wrote an operetta, a comedic thing, because I believe that laughter, even in the most tragic situations, is a revitalizing element. We can laugh until the very last minute,” sets the tone for this extraordinary event.

This operetta transports us to the heart of Ravensbrück, a concentration camp during World War II. Through a captivating musical and theatrical performance, the play showcases the lives of the deportees. Picture an unusual naturalist who describes and rallies the women, conjuring memories of lively gatherings and empowering songs from the past. Despite their inhumane conditions, these women wield the mighty weapon of joy, celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.

“Une Opérette à Ravensbrück” is a tribute to the unbreakable bonds of humanity and fraternity, maintained even in the face of unimaginable horror. It’s a moving and inspiring portrayal that highlights the strength of the human soul and the power of laughter as a force for healing and resistance.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to experience a powerful blend of history, art, and resilience. Join me for an unforgettable evening that promises to touch your heart and leave you inspired.

Let’s come together to witness the indomitable spirit of the human soul and celebrate the triumph of hope and joy even in the darkest times.
