Theatrical visit "These foreigners of the shadow"

On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the Mont-Valérien Memorial invites you to discover the theatrical evocation "These foreigners of the shadow", staged and performed by the Théâtre des Oiseaux. Saturday, September 16 at 6 pm Chosen to highlight the multiple origins of the Mont-Valérien shootings, the representation «These foreigners of the shadow» allows us to reflect on the contribution of foreigners in the Resistance, facing the enemies of Freedom. This piece aims to shed light on the contemporary issues and challenges that are shaking our societies. Thanks to a staging adapted to the visit of Mont-Valérien, the actors manage to give life to the contributions of foreigners in the French Resistance, to recount their acts of courage and their endangerment to free France from the occupier. This representation shows the journey of the young FTP-MOI (Franc-Tireur Partisan – Main d'œuvre Immigrae) in occupied France, until the execution of the members of the «Affiche Rouge», at Mont-Valérien on February 21, 1944 and during a military vigil in the Vosges with an officer of the colonial troops. This artistic evocation of the Resistance thus makes it possible to honor the careers of these men and women who, although they came from elsewhere, took part in the battles of the Liberation and engaged in the fight against Nazism and collaboration.
