Theater - *Les Justes*

Through a Cornelian dilemma, Albert Camus confronts us with the question of violence committed in the name of higher causes of justice and humanity.

Moscow, February 1905. Four terrorists from the Socialist-Revolutionary Party are planning an assassination attempt on Grand Duke Sergei, the Tsar’s uncle. Kaliayev, known as “the poet,” torn between his thirst for justice and his respect for life, is tasked with throwing the bomb. An unexpected event arises that threatens to derail the attack and triggers an existential upheaval within the group.

In a violent world where a new form of terrorism is wreaking havoc, this seminal play by Albert Camus—which explores the virtues of moderation—immerses us once again in a fierce humanism that serves humanity in all its complexity and paradoxes, without ever giving up on the possibility of progress. For even in destruction, there is order; there are limits.
