For her third creation with the Troupe, following Vania and Fanny and Alexandre, Julie Deliquet stages the artistic emulation that animated the life of Molière and his family. It focuses on the years 1662-1663 when the success of L’École des femmes at the Palais-Royal led to a cabal to which the author replied with La Critique de L’École des femmes, where he mocked his detractors in a salon with frenzied debates, then L’Impromptu de Versailles where he shows himself directing a rehearsal.

Located in the heart of the “Bible Belt”, the most religious area of ​​the United States, Oklahoma is today considered the most radical state in America. It is here that the most prisoners are sentenced to death, that there are the greatest number of women in prison, that the laws on abortion are the most restrictive or that the inhabitants are the most climatosceptic. . It is also in this state that you can buy a weapon of war at the supermarket.

Oklahoma has an area equivalent to a third of France for only four million inhabitants, mostly white, rural and Republican. In these vast plains, we have remained in the time of the cowboys. And for elections, there is never any suspense. During the last presidential election, some counties voted Donald Trump by more than 90%.

For six months, the teams of this document crossed Oklahoma to try to understand the spirit of its population. They met a sheriff who calls himself the toughest in the state. For him, repression is the only course of action, even for minor offences. Also followed, anti-abortion activists, the most radical advocate the death penalty for women wishing to practice an abortion, or even defenders of Christian and conservative morality at school. They campaign to ban certain books when they evoke the cause of blacks or LGBT. Faced with them, some residents are trying to resist. You will see the last days of the last abortion clinic in Oklahoma. Opened fifty years ago, it was forced to close its doors following the latest anti-abortion laws. As for women who wish to have an abortion, they must drive hundreds of kilometers to reach neighboring New Mexico, where abortion is still authorized.

In 2022, the governor of Oklahoma prohibits the right to abortion. The few clinics that practiced abortions must close their doors overnight…
