Le pari de La marche des femmes
Before Michelle Perrot, French history was filled mostly with men. Through her work, women of the past and future emerge. From Olympe de Gouges to the workers of Les Halles, from Simone Veil to the seamstresses in the Sentier, from Louise Michel to the brothels of Saint-Denis, La marche des femmes follows Michelle Perrot and a young woman through the places shaped by daily life, activism, and the thoughts of women. It is also a moment to confront ideas between generations.
With Michelle Perrot historian

Sophie Couturier screenwriter of La marche des femmes
Serie Le Pari de l'œuvre
The act of creation is a wager: on memory, on the future, on how a gesture will be received once it slips beyond the artist’s control. In every field, a work raises the question of its own necessity and its place in the world. Why do certain works from the past still resonate so powerfully today? This new series of monthly encounters invites a guest to share their personal connection with a specific work.
