The last meeting between Danton and Robespierre, two major figures of the Revolution. A disturbingly topical text in which everything is true.

Between Danton, an excessive, spontaneous giant and lover of pleasure, and Robespierre, an elegant, thoughtful ascetic and philosopher of the revolution, there is a duel to the death.

Two conceptions of life, two visions of happiness separate these two legendary friends. At a time when, for the sake of one's ideals, one crosses the gates of death on the scaffold in song, living is a struggle.

Press release:

- "A formidable face-to-face encounter." France Inter

- "A true theatrical duo, by turns empathetic, vengeful, or carried away by madness." La Provence

- "Like great carnivores sniffing each other before killing each other, the two actors enthrall the audience." Le JDD

- A favorite." France Info

- "A brilliant text carried by two outstanding actors. By showing history in the making, the author gives us a glimpse of the revolution and what will happen next, with its share of indeterminacies and coincidences. This is rare and very interesting. Finally, like all good historical accounts, this one makes us think about current events, starting with this immense democratic heritage, now under attack, which compels us to fight. Today more than ever." Sceneweb.fr

- An arm wrestling match that reconciles us with history" laffiche.co
