Projet Polytechnique

Salle André-Mathieu

Description

The word "feminicide" made its appearance in dictionaries in 2019, 30 years after a young man deliberately ended the lives of 14 female Polytechnique students, precisely because they were women. For no other reason.

Are there other words missing from our vocabulary to understand how hatred is born and propagated? In an age of algorithms, misinformation and social media, what are the concepts that will help us identify and combat violence?

Actors and authors Jean-Marc Dalphond and Marie-Joanne Boucher investigate and turn over every stone to measure the consequences of the Polytechnique feminicide. Annabel Soutar and Alex Ivanovici accompany them on the dramaturgy.
