The play Les Marchands d'Étoiles, after a triumph in Avignon, arrives in Paris at Le Splendid until January 5, 2025. A moving and funny play about the Second World War.

Les Marchands d'Étoiles (Star Merchants) finally lands in the French capital after a highly successful run at the Festival d'Avignon 2023. Considered a play that should be of public interest by the newspaper La Provence, the play, set during the Second World War, has already won numerous awards. Playing at Le Splendid until January 5, 2025, Les Marchands d'Étoiles looks set to be a deeply moving play not to be missed.

The viewer is plunged into June 1942, during the Second World War, in a fabric workshop in Paris. In the midst of the Occupation, the Martineau family, neither collaborators nor resistance fighters, try to carry on with their normal lives. They've even taken over the Jewish star business, printing yellow stars for the whole of Europe - a golden opportunity in which they take great pride. But one of her employees is Jewish and, one evening, everything changes when a collaborator arrives... Les Marchands d'étoiles features six actors in a fine, moving play.
