- Summary:
- This theater play unveils the destiny of Solitude, a woman who embodies the symbol of the struggle against slavery in Guadeloupe. From the novel "Solitude" written by André Schwarz-Bart, this performance is a diptych highlighting she and her mother who fought against Napoleon when he reestablished slavery in French colonies in 1802 after 8 years of freedom. Today, many feminists ask for Solitude's burial at Panthéon in Paris so that she could officially be recognised as a hero.
