The show was shot in the midst of the November 13th attacks trial and not just anywhere: at the Bataclan.
Quite a symbol.
"You don't do things at the Bataclan with impunity. There is something that marks as soon as you enter this room. The whole team is fighting to revive this room and give the most scathing denial to those who wanted to attack a way of life. I found it very beautiful that we do the Bataclan ".
