"La vie en vrai (Anne Sylvestre)": a feminist musical tribute at the Athénée Théâtre Louis Jouvet

In the intimate cocoon of theAthénée Théâtre-Louis Jouvet, Marie Fortuit and Lucie Sansen join forces to present"La vie en vrai (avec Anne Sylvestre)", a musical show that delves intoAnne Sylvestre 's poetic and political legacy from a contemporary perspective. From April 25 to May 5, 2024, audiences are invited to take part in an emotional and thoughtful exploration of Anne Sylvestre's songs, Marie Fortuit's self-fictional texts, and Lucie Sansen's musical arrangements.

The show was born of Marie Fortuit's deep desire to answer the call of "la vie en vraie", a quest for meaning and authenticity in an often overwhelming world. The choice to reconnect with the essence of life through the work of Anne Sylvestre, who died in December 2020, forges a transgenerational link, inviting us on a journey to the heart of femininity, commitment and art.

Marie Fortuit and Lucie Sansen makeAnne Sylvestre's work their own, enriching their interpretation with contemporary influences. This artistic dialogue highlights the resonance of feminist struggles past and present, and how Anne Sylvestre's works continue to inspire new generations.

The show offers a mosaic of songs, from iconic titles to lesser-known gems, all revisited with finesse by Lucie Sansen. La vie en vrai aims to be a space where poetry, music and reflection intertwine to raise awareness and celebrate the power of cultural and artistic heritage.
