The Le Repère association presents:
Musical Reading “From University to Camps” by the El Paso Company.
Duration 1h - Portrait gallery
"In May 1945, when colleagues from our Faculty of Letters in Strasbourg, then withdrawn to Clermont-Ferrand, who had been deported to Nazi penal colonies began to return to us, I suggested that we put together a special volume, a collection of objective and lively stories in which they themselves would recount the most salient facts of their deportation." 33 authors contributed to this collection, strikingly true, poignant, powerful in their resistance... often intolerable as their stories remind us of the barbarity of the Nazis. 2025: 80 years after their liberation from the camps: what remains of their testimonies?
It is so as not to forget that humanity can fall into the unspeakable that it seemed essential to us to repeat these words, these stories... History, however, constantly reminds us, and since the Second World War, that the unspeakable is replayed on different stages of the world, a recurrence of horror, of inhumanity... Never again, we said...
To pay tribute to these men and women, often members of the Resistance, we have chosen to excerpt a few texts from them. The reading will be accompanied by music and song, to give the audience a breath of fresh air and allow the weight of the words to leave their mark on each of them.
Vocals: Serge Lipszyc, Isabelle Ruiz, Yann Siptrott and Olivier Beckrich on double bass
Free entry – platter
