RADIO LIVE : UNE NOUVELLE GÉNÉRATION AU MICRO
From radio to theater, how do we carry the voices of committed youth? They are at the microphone, coming from France and all over the world, engaging and sharing specific concerns for their time and environment.
It’s a three-dimensional radio show, with music, archives and lively exchanges. Continuing a documentary work carried out on the airwaves of France Inter and France Culture, Aurélie Charon and Caroline Gillet, accompanied by Amélie Bonnin for the image, move this dialogue to the stage with young people from the four corners of the world, from Dakar to Beirut, from Gaza to New Delhi, from Lille to Mauritius, all focused through strong political commitments and leading their fight in the face of prejudices, discrimination, exclusions. On stage, live or through video documents, the guests speak on subjects such as the place of women in society, democracy and many other symptomatic subjects of our time.
