Germinal, a colourful representation!

On Tuesday March 3^rd, Collège Champittet received for the classes 11^th to 14^th the troop “Les batteurs de Pavés” for the theatre piece Germinal. 

Emmanuel Moser and Laurent Lecoultre decided to create a company specializing in street theatre after leaving the Conservatoire of Lausanne in 1998. The company’s goal is to put together a theatre piece in an open public space, this allows them to have access to a higher number of spectators, without falling into ease or populism.

The students were able to attend but also participate at the 269^th performance. The students were surprised when they knew that some of them were going to participate in a less conventional Germinal, which was a great success. The classes were able to admire the role-playing of the students as well as the professors who volunteered to join the cast of actors.
