“The hearing is open” with Richard Berry – directed by Éric Théobald

"The hearing is open" with Richard BerryAt Théâtre de la Michodière – Paris 2e

Some of our teams recently attended this show, which looks at four emblematic cases of the 20th century through the prism of pleadings delivered by leading lawyers:

– Maître Jakubowicz on the trial of Klaus Barbie and his crimes against humanity
– Maître Labori on the trial of Émile Zola in the Dreyfus Affair
– Maître Dupin on the end of life
– Maître Molteni, in an eloquence contest, on the offence of solidarity

Interspersed with archive footage and supported by a highly involving technical process, the staging is designed to be immersive, inviting the spectator to take on the role of juror.

 

Why were we moved?

Inevitably, a lot of shared emotion, and the knowledge that our profession can play a part in the duty of remembrance.
