This autumn, as a retrospective honors Jacques-Louis David, this staged reading follows an artist shaped by the Revolution, both witness and participant. Directed by Benjamin Lazar, it portrays David imprisoned after the Terror, revisiting his past as figures like Charlotte Corday and Maximilien Robespierre emerge in a vivid, somber vision of memory.
