A love story set against the backdrop of May 1968 As France is rocked by student protests and strikes in May 1968, a forbidden passion blossoms where it is least expected. Emma, an idealistic teacher, and Pierre, a high school student in search of meaning, fall in love. But in a society that is still very rigid, their relationship causes shockwaves. Parents, the law, public opinion... everything stands in the way of their relationship. A forbidden love that will turn their lives upside down... and perhaps much more. Inspired by a true story, this musical combines emotion, utopia, and conviction against a backdrop of social upheaval. On stage, 16 singers, actors, and dancers bring this poignant story to life through theater, original songs, and powerful choreography. The contemporary, powerful, and refined staging serves a universal narrative that questions our relationship to freedom, love, and rebellion. A comprehensive, sensitive, and engaging show.
