Les Procès du siècle - Daring to be Utopian
Season 4
From Monday, November 18, 2024 to Monday, March 17, 2025
At the crossroads of debate, theater and judicial investigation, this space for citizen deliberation examines the struggles that are shaking up our contemporary societies, bringing together witnesses, specialists and exhibits.
This fourth season of Les Procès du siècle explores concrete, real-life utopias and the new models we need to invent to move towards more democracy, more ecology and more solidarity. To live better, together.
In season 4, we’ll be talking about education, care, digital technology, the economy, architecture, agriculture, traffic, respect, consent, artificial intelligence, trees and birds. Sometimes, we’ll even try to laugh about it.
A series of encounters conceived and produced by the Mucem.

Les Procès du siècle — Oser l'utopie
Cette quatrième saison des Procès du siècle propose d’explorer les utopies concrètes et réelles, les nouveaux modèles à inventer pour avancer vers plus de démocratie, plus d’écologie, plus de solidarité.
Pour vivre mieux, ensemble.

Les procès du siècle — Féminismes, genres, minorités.
Une série de rencontres imaginée et produite par le Mucem.
Réunissant témoins, spécialistes et pièces à conviction, Les Procès du siècle ouvrent un espace d’échanges citoyens.
Après une première saison consacrée aux questions environnementales, cette deuxième saison est dédiée aux minorités dominées, et à leurs manières de s’exprimer, de résister, de revendiquer leurs droits.
Le Procès du siècle, délibérations citoyennes !
Comment parler des bouleversements récents qui touchent nos vies, nos sociétés, notre environnement ? Que disent-ils de notre rapport au temps et à l’espace ? Comment nous situons-nous aujourd’hui au cœur du monde et du vivant ? Quelles mutations, quelles révolutions sont à espérer ou à craindre ?
Le Procès du siècle appelle à la barre plaignants, accusés, témoins et avocats. Il en appelle avant tout à ses jurés, les citoyens.
