The Onassis Stegi is transformed into a National Assembly. The French revolution is happening here and now, all around us, and Joël Pommerat and his wonderful company suck us into the vortex of history, showing us just how contemporary everything the pioneers and opponents of European democracy said and did 228 years ago really is.

France's most talked-about production (Molière Award, 2016), with fourteen actors and an army of extras portraying dozens of characters: kings, presidents, parliamentarians, cardinals, hot-blooded revolutionaries and indignant citizens.

Before all else, however, the actors put flesh and blood on the protagonists’ ideas. The historical dialogue that 'breathed life' into European democracy plays out anew, addressing our here and now;

Receiving rave reviews wherever it is performed, "Ça ira" is event theatre and an experience that is in turns violent and tender, funny and topical, ingeniously entertaining and profoundly enlightening on many levels. An epic project for democracy.
