La Grande Traversée

Annie Ernaux 2.0

Take a journey through the last sixty years, through the clear, incisive words of Annie Ernaux, and the music that marked the changes in times and customs: from Bourvil to the Doors, from Yéyés to Queen, from the birth of RAP to electronic music.

Two actors from two generations tell us a musical and playful history of France, between radio cassettes and vinyl, Formica tables, revolutions, collapsing buildings and Converse for forty-somethings.

The memory of things and sounds, of struggles and events, gives us back our place in the world and sheds light on our present, which is sometimes so difficult to grasp.
