Le Chant des Lions

Le Chant des Lions tells the story of how the famous Chant des partisans was written. The writing is precise, the staging full of life and the cast excellent.

• Germaine Sablon, one of the most popular singers in the capital, performs in a cabaret. In the audience is Joseph Kessel, journalist, author, aviator and adventurer. Their love at first sight is immediate, but the war arrives and transforms the lives of these two lovers. Today, all of Germaine Sablon's songs have fallen into oblivion... All of them, except one. The one they created together: Le Chant des partisans.

With this show, the authors Julien Delpech and Alexandre Foulon tell the humanity of those who change the world. They question them and also reveal their flaws. The director Charlotte Matzneff makes their words resonate, breathes life into them and makes a company of brilliant actors and actresses shine. Audiences feel as though these great figures are there, in front of them, for the length of an evening.
