Stéphane Bern & Matthieu Noël SEASON 2021 - 20226:00 p.m., August 08, 2022

Historically Yours brings together 3 characters who lived in Borneo: Margaret Brooke who was queen or rather rani as is customary in this island of Malaysia, a Franco-British aristocrat who followed her husband for a trip to the country of “head cutters ”.

Then the former sailor turned writer Joseph Conrad who set foot in Borneo and froze the island and some of its heroes on paper, giving life to what remain today his greatest novels.

And a very old, very hairy star, born in Borneo who has lived in Paris for more than 50 years: Nénette, the famous orangutan from the Jardin des Plantes.
