“All that for love!”, alone on stage inspired by Gabrielle Russer at the Christian-Liger theater in Nîmes

Edwige Baily s’inspire de l’histoire dramatique de Gabrielle Russier. – Fabienne Rappeneau

Avec son spectacle présenté au théâtre Christian-Liger, à Nîmes, Edwige Bailly, s’inspire de Gabrielle Russier, condamnée pour avoir aimé l’un de ses élèves.

A song by Aznavour, a film with Annie Girardot… The love story between Gabrielle Russer and a young high school student hit the headlines in the 1970s and regularly inspired artists.

With "All this for love !" directed by Julien Poncet, Edwige Bailly presents a single stage performance, funny, intense and dramatic, immersing the spectators in the French class, inviting them to think for themselves, to experience strong emotions through reading. Taking its source from a true story, the show revisits the literature of Sophocles, Albert Camus, Boris Vian and Arthur Rimbaud for an ode to freedom and pure love.

Friday March 22, 8 p.m. Christian-Liger Theater, Pablo-Neruda center, place Hubert-Rouger, Nîmes. 10 €, 4 €. 06 46 75 30 55.
