At the Buchenwald camp, behind the scenes of a historic play – Liberation

Jean-Baptiste Sastre crosses an earthcate. The director marks stops. The actors give the replica in each corner of Buchenwald. Very close to barbed wire, at the entrance; Behind the crematorium; near the common pit of Soviet soldiers; In the « small camp » where hundreds of Jewish prisoners were imprisoned and killed. The actors follow him on track. They put life in a place where humans have created hell: an old Nazi concentration camp, created in 1937 on the hill of Ettersberg, near Weimar, Germany. Jean-Baptiste Sastre looks at his phone at the valve. It offers a break at the time of the nap. The weather is nice. The sun also exists in Buchenwald.

The actors land on a small hill. They lie on the lawn. Calm. Jean-Baptiste Sastre is straightening up without warning. As if a juice had just struck him. He takes one guy by the arm to place him in front of his comrades. Hood on the head, malicious air, Kevin blows a blow. The director does not let him go. A way to maintain tension. Kevin, 28, a deep voice and chopped flow, recites his text. Hand gestures accompany his words.

Jean-Baptiste Sastre pushes him to climb in the decibels.
