Zola, La Rage à l'Encre

ZOLA, LA RAGE À L’ENCRE From writer to avenger: discover, through the little-known articles that preceded the famous "J’accuse", the behind-the-scenes of a historic upheaval. Faced with the scandal of the Dreyfus Affair, Émile Zola sees his certainties waver. Between private doubts, passionate debates and political courage, the play plunges us into the study of a man who is about to sacrifice everything (his freedom, his fortune and his safety) for a single idea: Truth. But who was this man? Why and how did he become this committed author, this enraged and fiery citizen? A vibrant show, of blazing modernity, which reminds us that in the face of injustice, silence is sometimes the greatest of complicities.
