Victor Hugo fought all his life against injustice of every kind: poverty, child labour, the condition of women, illiteracy, war… Three performers (acting and singing, electric guitar and human beatbox) take hold of his most virulent texts and speak, sing, proclaim and slam them, turning his words into a vivid, burning manifesto. The author’s life and the history of the 19th century thus resonate with our own times in this cabaret, both pop and sensitive.
