Les correspondances des sœurs Jacob [Vives mémoires]

As part of “Vives mémoires”. Final event related to the exhibition Simone Veil. Mes sœurs et moi

This final event, part of the exhibition Simone Veil. Mes sœurs et moi, brings to the stage the intimate story of the Jacob family, which has been unfolding at the Mémorial de la Shoah since December.

It is the story of the young brother Jean, the adored mother Yvonne, the serious father André, and, at its heart, the story of the three sisters Simone, Madeleine, known as Milou, and Denise.

This reading is presented as an ode to the Jacob sisterhood and an embodiment of the correspondences that paint their lyrical and intimate portrait.

Carried by the voices of Jeanne Balibar, Dominique Reymond, and Isabelle Huppert, the words of Milou, Simone, and Denise resonate within us, urging us towards ever greater depth and accuracy, sensitivity, discernment, and courage.

Featuring actresses Jeanne Balibar and Dominique Reymond. In the presence of David Teboul, curator of the exhibition.

Vives mémoires Since 2024, the Théâtre de la Ville and the Mémorial de la Shoah have continued their collaboration by offering unique events combining artistic performances, meetings, and discussions around the transmission and dialogue of memories.

This season, we renew this invitation to think together, in a spirit of sharing and awakening: sharing to learn and feel; awakening to understand and act.

Through stories, literary works, and testimonies, accompanied by artists, historians, and committed personalities, these encounters offer keys to understanding today's troubled times, better facing those of tomorrow, and reaffirming what unites us: our common humanity.
