The stage adaptation of the France Inter podcast, downloaded by nearly four million listeners.
Accompanied by a cartoonist, a historian, a choir and amateur actors, this participatory theatrical event retraces the extraordinary destiny of Léon Blum, still too often reduced to his paid leave totem, even though he played a major political role in France in the XXᵉ century. This show also resonates with yesterday's hopes and today's frustrations, the possibilities of politics and its impotencies.
The Request
The Châteauvallon-Liberté National Theater and Radio France Studios wanted to adapt Philippe Collin’s hit podcast for the stage.
Our Solution
- The adaptation and direction were entrusted to Philippe Collin, Violaine Ballet, and Charles Berling, with the latter playing Léon Blum.
- A tour throughout France between 2023 and 2025
A word from Philippe Collin:
It is a great joy and a source of real pride to be able to adapt a historical podcast for the stage for the first time and to shed light on the life and essential role of this man who is so important to our history. We have envisioned an ambitious and original production that will allow us to create something unique every time, always with the same goal: to make history!
