Violette Morris – Cie Qui Va

The performance venue Les Orages, located in Lectoure in the former tannery, offers you a residency showcase.

Contemporary theater

Heroine of the First World War
Greatest all-around champion of the 20th century
Icon of lesbian cabarets in 30s Paris
Manager of an aircraft garage during World War II
Violette Morris left her mark on her era before being executed on April 26, 1944.
And to fall into oblivion.

The one who was rejected
Because his parents would have preferred a boy,
By a conservative society that criticized him for his short hair, his homosexuality, and his refusal to have children,
By the Federation, which signed his sporting death warrant by withdrawing his license for "wearing trousers",
Had she suffered another injustice?
Or had she committed an act so reprehensible that it would be enough to erase her name from collective memory?
