"Conversations à Rechlin" is a superb blend of music and theatre. Set against a backdrop of Europe in 1944, the end of the Second World War and the collapse of Nazi Germany, the story shows three people brought together by a daily ritual that overcomes the differ- ences between them. Marie-Claude Chappuis performs lieder by Schubert, Schumann and Wolf that form a contrast with the actors' situation in the labour camp at Rechlin. An inti- mate, spiritual interaction among a trio of human beings caught up in a moment of history.

As author and director, François Dupeyron, well known for his film "Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran"... has created a complex piece of musical theatre.
