ARIANE MNOUCHKINE

In this film, Catherine Vilpoux recounts Ariane Mnouchkine’s iconic artistic journey : her aspirations, her dreams for the theatre, her love of cinema, her unique and extraordinary bond with audiences. Extensive archival Material – much of which has never been seen before – together with extracts from performances and rehearsals, as well as interviews and coverage of various tours and travels, reveal an in-depth portrait of the Théâtre du Soleil, and its artistic and political commitment both in France and internationally, for which it was awarded the International Ibsen Award in September 2009.
