Preliminary notes

A celebration of the visionary leader Nelson Mandela and his involvement in the South African struggle for liberation, originally written in French, the book, music and lyrics by Jean-Pierre Hadida and Alicia Sebrien.

En janvier 2016, des artistes faisaient revivre, grâce à la comédie musicale «Madiba», les combats, les épreuves et les victoires de Nelson Mandela, prix Nobel de la paix 1993. Parmi eux, Audrey, d’origine guyanaise, Juliette, de région parisienne, Lunik, d’origine ivoirienne, Manu de Haïti, Falone d'origine camerounaise et Jean-Luc, des Antilles. Suivis pendant les répétitions, les six jeunes gens témoignent de leurs rêves et de leurs espoirs. Comment leur histoire personnelle se rattache-t-elle à la grande histoire que raconte le spectacle dans lequel ils vont jouer ?

First produced in 2016.
