France Fiction

Three actors must perform a documentary play about the great strikes of May 1968. But disappointed by the movement's defeat, they ultimately decide to rewrite history live. Forgotten figures then invade the stage: Françoise d’Eaubonne and Delphine Seyrig put Pompidou and Giscard in the closet and reclaim the confiscated speech. It is the birth of an "uchronia", a punk and wild alternative history where the 60/70s become a genuine social, ecological and feminist turning point in the History of France. France-Fiction is a whimsical fable, a political tale to laugh and dream together of brighter tomorrows.

Press:

“[…] The three actors, full of energy and inventiveness, remake the world, attempting to rewrite History so that it is less wobbly, and in doing so, also show us the path traveled.” Théâtral magazine

“They are very young and have no shortage of ideas to imagine, through the television screen, what our society would have become if May 68 had been a true revolution!” L’oeil d’Olivier

“[…] three young actors lead us into a joyful uchronia. They offer us a show without didactic pretension, surfing with humor and self-mockery on the news of the 70s […] A great moment of cheerfulness from which one emerges with a smile on one's face, but also re-energized to comprehend reality and perhaps still dream of possibilities.” Tsilibim

“What a joy to come across a theatrical UFO like FranceFiction […] that dares to dream out loud what our world could have been and makes us want to keep changing it […]. Carried by an explosive trio – two boys and a girl – as convinced as they are convincing, […] France-Fiction offers a jubilant rewriting of our History.” Club de la presse Grand Avignon Vaucluse
