04THE ENCOUNTER
The courage of the Resistance, told by a free woman. Dancer, icon and Resistance agent, Josephine Baker brings occupied Paris back to life. From the Opera to rue de Rivoli, she recounts clandestine networks, impossible choices and the courage of those who stood against barbarism.
The dancer and icon becomes a voice of the Resistance. Josephine Baker reveals occupied Paris: surveillance, clandestine networks and decisions whose consequences could be irreversible. The Opéra, grand hotels and rue de Rivoli acquire another meaning through her eyes.
Her story also gives space to women involved in resistance networks, often less visible in historical narratives. The theatrical walk combines emotion, courage and reflection on freedom. For agencies, it offers a personal complement to programmes centred on the Second World War and modern Parisian history.
