Nearly 30 years ago, Mathieu Kassovitz’s cult film LA HAINE was released, the symbol of a generation, a classic of French cinema, revealed and rewarded at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, followed by 3 awards including Best Film at the Césars.
Critically acclaimed, even internationally, it has won the admiration of the likes of Steven Spielberg, who declares his “adoration for the film”.
In 2024, Kassovitz is back with a lively, immersive creation.
The director revisits the story of his cult film by adapting it for the stage, underlining the film’s eminently contemporary character.
On May 31, 1995, Mathieu Kassovitz brought the suburbs to the screen for the first time. The film starred 3 actors (Vinz, Said and Hubert) who were as yet unknown to the public. The story of these 3 young people confronted with economic, social and political difficulties, and the condition of women, is an ode to love, solidarity and friendship.
A project rooted in current events, then, whose innovative form aims to plunge spectators into a “ride” through Paris and its suburbs, thanks to a unique device that brings stage and screen into dialogue: 14 tableaux inspired by the film, redesigned by Mathieu Kassovitz, will be shown on a projection system, coupled with the sets and, above all, with the actors’ performances on stage.
The show blends dance, film, rap, theater and live performance in a resolutely modern and singular augmented form, supported by an original soundtrack that also bridges the gap between the 90s and today.
Price: From €25 to €85
