Tribute to Lucien Attoun
A fervent defender of contemporary writing and creation, Lucien Attoun died in April, leaving behind him an immense legacy. Co-founder of Théâtre Ouvert, in response to Jean Vilar's challenge in July 1971, he was a passionate, determined and committed man who devoted his life to theatre and the promotion of cultural diversity. Lucien and Micheline Attoun inaugurated the chapelle des Pénitents Blancs in 1971. It was a founding act for Théâtre Ouvert, which, on the occasion of this tribute, wishes to present one of the first texts presented at the time, La Demande d'emploi by Michel Vinaver.
La demande d'emploi
A sales manager is looking for a new job. He has to put up with questionnaires that are as precise as clockwork and the manoeuvres of a headhunter. He has to deal with his "left-wing" daughter and his wife, who is having a hard time coping with the loss of a secure home.
The reading will be preceded by a talk by Joëlle Gayot, Lucien Attoun's former collaborator at Théâtre Ouvert and France Culture.
