Four programs recorded at the Théâtre du Soleil at the Cartoucherie in Vincennes, on the occasion of Mnouchkine's new creation "l'Île d'Or".

On the occasion of this thirty-fourth creation, these interviews will allow you to explore the major themes of the Théâtre du Soleil, a troupe created in 1964, to tell about artistic loyalties and to try to understand how a Mnouchkine show is written.

On the bill for L'Île d'Or but also for As Comadres (Les Belles sœurs after Michel Tremblay).

This is the first time that Ariane Mnouchkine has worked with artists who are not from the Théâtre du Soleil, which she founded in 1964. Originally, three Brazilian actresses were looking for a show to be produced in their country plagued by economic, political, social and cultural difficulties.

Touched by their concerns, Ariane Mnouchkine offered them Belles-Sœurs, a play by Michel Tremblay that she had seen in Paris in the musical adaptation by Daniel Bélanger and staged by René Richard Cyr.

Faithfully relying on this staging, she led the actresses to appropriate the situations, to bring the story to life.

The play is played from December 23 to 31 at the theater of the wooden sword at the Cartoucherie
