Nearly 30 years ago, the cult film LA HAINE by Mathieu Kassovitz was released, symbol of a generation, a great classic of French cinema, revealed and rewarded at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, then with 3 prizes including best film at the Césars. Acclaimed by critics, including internationally, arousing the admiration of personalities like Steven Spielberg who declared “loving the film”. In 2024, Kassovitz is back with a lively and immersive creation. The director revisits the story of his cult film by adapting it on stage and underlines the eminently current character of the film. On May 31, 1995, Mathieu Kassovitz put the suburbs on screen for the first time. A film carried by 3 actors (Vinz, Said and Hubert) still unknown to the battalion. The story of these 3 young people confronted with economic, social and political difficulties, the condition of women and which, in parallel with its codes, is an ode to love, solidarity and friendship. A project anchored in current events, therefore, and whose innovative form intends to immerse the spectator in a “ride” through Paris and its suburbs thanks to a unique device creating a dialogue between the stage and the screen: 14 paintings inspired by the film, redesigned by Mathieu Kassovitz, will be broadcast on a projection system, coupled with the sets and especially with the performance of the actors on stage. This show therefore combines dance, cinema, rap, theater and live performance in an augmented form, resolutely modern and unique, carried by an original soundtrack which also makes the link between the 90s and today.
