Pages – 150 years of the International Review of the Red Cross
Dating back to 1869, the International Review of the Red Cross is the oldest publication devoted to international humanitarian law, policy and action. The exhibition will highlight the role of the Review in disseminating progress in international law related to armed conflict and innovation in humanitarian response over the past 150 years.
This exposition invites you to delve into the more than 110,000 pages that form the rich history of the journal with two questions in mind—can a publication change the course of history? Is the explosion of words you see here more powerful than the explosion of bombs in the wars humankind continues to wage?

Free entrance.
No registration needed

One of the best-loved works of children’s fiction which follows the adventures of Mole, Rat, Badger, Toad, and their friends. Follow the animals on this comical modern-day production, scripted by Alan Bennet, where their adventures and misadventures populate the entire story. From an idyllic riverside picnic to a snowy encounter in the Wild Woods, and from poop-pooping in Toad’s shiny new motor car to escaping jail! But watch out for the weasels who plot to take down the protagonists and take over Toad Hall. Will they succeed or does good overcome evil?

A Christmas Carol

By Charles Dickens
Directed by Claude-Inga Barbey
From Tuesday 3 to Sunday 22 December 2019
Surtitled in French and English on Friday 6, Sunday 8, and Wednesday 11 December 2019
La Cuisine, main stage auditorium

PERFORMANCE TIMES
TUESDAY-FRIDAY: 19H30 SUNDAY: 17H
SPECIAL PERFORMANCE TIME: SATURDAY 17H
DURATION: 1H30 (IN DEVELOPMENT)
AGE: 8 AND OVER

On Christmas Eve – a celebration he detests above all others and happily qualifies as “humbug” – Ebenezer Scrooge, an avaricious moneylender – is visited by three ghosts…
The first one takes Scrooge back in time to past Christmases. The second one takes him on a journey through the present, showing him the poverty that surrounds him and which he does nothing to combat. And the third takes him to an incredibly bleak future, where a helpless Scrooge witnesses his own death, alone and reviled by all. Overwhelmed by these revelations about himself and the world around him, Scrooge performs a last minute act of redemption, just moments before the joyous bells ring out for Christmas…
“I remain convinced that all the evils committed by individuals on this Earth come in large part from the evils previously suffered by those same individuals. And nowhere has anyone more clearly expressed this in a simple story than Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol.” Claude-Inga Barbey
