Alexis Michalik's 'Intra Muros' Returns to La Pépinière Théâtre on August 25

The acclaimed play 'Intra Muros' by Alexis Michalik returns to La Pépinière Théâtre in Paris on August 25. The production, praised as one of Michalik's finest creations, tells the story of Richard, a theater director who gives his first drama class in a prison. Despite expecting a large turnout, only two inmates show up: Kevin, a young impulsive man, and Ange, a mute fifty-year-old who accompanies his friend. Richard, aided by his ex-wife (a former actress) and an inexperienced social worker, decides to hold the class anyway. The play has received rave reviews from French media, including Le Figaro, Télérama, Le Journal du Dimanche, Le Canard Enchaîné, and ELLE, with critics praising Michalik's storytelling virtuosity and the excellent performances of the five actors. The piece is described as captivating, moving, and powerful, offering a deep exploration of society through the lens of prison theater. The event is a partner of Club Artistik Rezo.
