All you need to know

In 1987, the Philips factory in Aubusson shut its doors, to the stupefaction of the 300 employees who worked there. Behind this premonitory sign of the tragic consequences of an exacerbated globalisation, there were individuals, ground down by the machine. Fifteen years later, a few of them agreed to look back to this painful episode. Extracts of those sharp memories will be read, Patrick Le Mauff and Nathalie Bécue lending their voices to those that bore witness to the event, Wajdi Mouawad taking on his own role, that through which words are liberated.
