Un Volcan silencieux

In Un volcan silencieux, sociologist and director Diane Muller reconnects with ten former classmates from Dijon, all born in 1979. Through open interviews, she explores how gender, class, and societal expectations have shaped their lives — from romantic ideals to motherhood and solitude. On stage, their voices are transmitted live, creating a powerful, intimate portrait of a generation.

Co-produced with the Les Créatives festival, the piece blends sociology and theatre to map the invisible lines of social determinism.

In French.
