The Song of the Lions
Show · Tuesday, November 24 · 20:00 · Roubaix
31 rue de l'Epeule Roubaix
In 1933, the leading singer and the charismatic adventurer see their passion disrupted by the Occupation. Charlotte Matzneff's elegant staging moves smoothly between the intimacy of pre-war salons and the violence of the battlefield, powered by a vibrant performance. Never yielding to a fixed re-enactment, Le Chant des lions interweaves small and great History, between fiction and truth. A successful homage to this mythical couple, whose shared commitment marked the Resistance and collective memory.
