- 1er mars 2025 : Samoëns – Espace Le Bois aux Dames
A unique artistic and human adventure
Created by Grégory Fostier et Thierry Forlinoriginally from Chambéry and Rumilly respectively, this musical is loosely inspired by a true story. It plunges the viewer into the France of May 68, at the heart of a forbidden love between a French teacher and her student, against a backdrop of social upheaval.
Since its premiere in 2022 at the Théâtre du Casino in Aix-les-Bains, the show has continued to evolve, improving over performances in Chambéry, Rumilly and Aix-les-Bains. Thanks to the unwavering support of its community and a successful crowdfunding campaign, the Savoyard troupe was able to professionalize its team, enrich its staging and refine its musical arrangements.

A story of love and courage
Inspired by the Gabrielle Russer affair, which moved France in the 1960s, the musical also takes up themes dear to history, notably with the famous title “Dying to Love” by Charles Aznavour. More than just a show, it is an ode to freedom, love and justice, carried by a committed and passionate troupe.
