Description

Through this show, Le Grenier de Babouchka wanted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal.<p> On April 25, 1974, in Portugal, the Carnation Revolution brought down the longest-lasting dictatorship in Europe. Thousands of Portuguese marched together, towards their destiny, to write, with flowers in their rifles, a sublime story of unity, love, and peace. These men and women thus succeeded in winning their freedom without a single drop of blood being shed. It is the story of a democracy won through the unity of a people and conquered with flowers.<br><br> When her grandson asks her about her life, Céleste, a Portuguese emigrant in France, summons to her memory the past memories of her youth silenced by the Salazar dictatorship...<br><br> Lighting design: Moïse Hill<br> Stage Manager: Simon Gleizes</p>
