Les Justes (2019)

Directed by Corentin Leconte

Overview

Today, immense confusion reigns over the quest for the absolute, revolt and fury, violence and its appendages. And many people plunge back in Albert Camus’ work to find answers. In the foreword to his play, the philosopher and writer summarizes the intrigue as follows: “In February 1905, in Moscow, a group of terrorists, belonging to the Socialist Revolutionary Party, organized a bomb attack against the Grand Duke Serge, Tsar’s uncle ”. The rapper and slammer Abd Al Malik offers with this “musical tragedy” a contemporary staging of “The Just”, a complete creation, faithful to the text of Camus, but reinventing a scenic and musical language resolutely inscribed in our time.
