Lecture théâtralisée dans le cadre du festival Les Traversées du Marais : Calek

Dive into the harrowing and profound world of Calek Perechodnik, a Polish Jew whose poignant experiences during World War II are brought to life in this powerful theatrical reading. Adapted from his intense memoir, *Suis-je un meurtrier?*, the piece depicts his life as an agronomical engineer who, after studying in France, returns to Poland in 1937 and starts a family. In 1940, amid the stifling confines of the Warsaw Ghetto, he joins the Ghetto-Polizei, a decision that brings neither protection for his family nor salvation for himself. Between May and October of 1943, Calek courageously records his family's story, detailing the brutal everyday reality of the ghetto, from persecution to deportation. This theatrical performance, vividly staged and performed by the acclaimed Charles Berling, delves deep into the personal turmoil and ethical dilemmas faced by Calek, offering audiences a glimpse into the soul of a man grappling with impossible choices. Join us for an unforgettable evening of raw emotion and historical reflection at the festival Les Traversées du Marais.
