In contact with a death row inmate

Round table discussion in French, as part of the Les Créatives Festival, with three speakers:

• Anne-Frédérique Widmann (journalist and documentarist): Free Men, Intermezzo Films, 2018.
• Valentine Cuny-Le Callet (cartoonist): Perpendiculaire au Soleil, Editions Delcourt, Paris, 2022. 
• Karelle Ménine (playwright, writer, journalist): Au bout du couloir, la mer, 2023.

What these three "Créatives" have in common? Three commitments against the death penalty, among others. With complexity, subtlety, talent, sensitivity and power. Three artists, three disciplines, three styles, three ways, three relationships to activism.

This round table will be an opportunity to discuss their works, their practices, their experiences, their visions of the world, their analyses of the situation, but also more generally of what these situations say about our times, sociologically and politically. 

Age limit: 16 years and over

Opening and drinks reception at the Centre des arts: 18:30
