Robert Badinter

Lawyer then statesman, he devoted himself entirely to a single demand: justice. From the courtroom of the assize court to major reforms, he embodied an uncompromising conscience, driven by moral strength and an ardent faith in human dignity.

Stéphane Guillon takes on the challenge of embodying this towering figure and giving him a voice. For Badinter demands total commitment, power and conviction.

Through several decisive moments and more intimate interludes, the play retraces the journey of a man for whom justice was never an abstraction, but a burning responsibility, carried before jurors, citizens and an entire country.

Part personal confidences and part political fresco, Nina Pynson's play, directed by Jérémie Lippmann, recalls a simple truth: a few upright consciences, driven by ideals and courage, can change the collective destiny.
