The play by the Compagnie Théâtre en Fusion pays tribute to the great figure of Jean Zay, Minister of National Education and Fine Arts under the Popular Front, who was sentenced to deportation by Pétain’s government and then assassinated by the Milice on 20 June 1944. Through the texts of his Captivity Diary, the audience learns about this man’s struggle against moral destruction, his concern for the public good and his quest for truth.
