Focus société : Nos Huit Rois (nos présidents)

is a theatre series of 6 shows. Its aim is to portray each of the 8 presidents of the Fifth Republic. Although each episode can be seen independently, together they form a fresco that charts French society from 1958 to 2027. Following the delightful "La vie et la mort de J.

Chirac, roi des français", we invite you to continue the adventure with 2 episodes this year, in a single evening! "Le dîner chez les français de V. Giscard d'Estaing" at 6pm - DURATION: 1h45 31 December 1974.

Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and his wife Anne-Aymone visit the Deschamps - Corrini family, Normandy farmers, to celebrate New Year's Eve.

The evening, which symbolically spans the 7 years of the presidential term, begins radiant and enthusiastic before quickly descending into anger, resentment and mutual bitterness.

Over watercress soup and fallue (a typically Norman dessert), hosts and guests humorously explore the profound changes in French society during the 1970s: economic crisis, unemployment, and social upheavals (abortion, divorce…).

45pm - DURATION: 1h15 Marie-France is a journalist in Paris; Luc, a teacher in Vénissieux, and Michel, a factory worker in Belfort.

Through the personal and political journeys of these three characters, all born in 1950 and who voted for Mitterrand in 1981, a portrait of the people of the left in all its diversity is presented here.

Through the telling of their hopes and disillusionments, together they recount how the Mitterrand presidency changed their lives. With tenderness, humour and great insight, we discover a sensitive portrait of an entire generation.
