Les Procès du siècle - Shared struggles
Season 3
From Monday, November 20, 2023 to Monday, March 11, 2024
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 third season brings together the struggles for human rights and the rights of the Earth. It explores the causes that need to be defended if we are to live together better, and inhabit our planet more fully.
From November 2023 to March 2024, we’ll be debating (and putting on trial) climate disruption, discrimination and precarity. What are the causes of these deadly imbalances? What are the tools, the proposals, the rights acquired and yet to be conquered?
A series of encounters conceived and produced by the Mucem in collaboration with Grégoire Ingold.
Illustrations and diary drawn by Benoît Guillaume.
