Lecture: Macaques by Hédi Tillette de Clermont-Tonnerre

In the leafy setting of the Théâtre de Verdure du Jardin Shakespeare, Hédi Tillette de Clermont-Tonnerre presents a reading of "Macaques." The performance follows the emotional journey of a young girl gradually coming to terms with the loss of her mother. Along the way, she encounters a cast of characters in a world gripped by fear and civil war.

The piece is written from the perspective of an eight-and-a-half-year-old, blending innocence with a growing awareness of loss and conflict. The intimate outdoor theatre in the Bois de Boulogne provides a fitting backdrop for this poignant literary adaptation.
