On Tuesday March 3rd, Collège Champittet received for the classes 11th to 14th the troop “Les batteurs de Pavés” for the theatre piece Germinal. 

Emmanuel Moser and Laurent Lecoultre decided to create a company specializing in street theatre after leaving the Conservatoire of Lausanne in 1998. The company’s goal is to put together a theatre piece in an open public space, this allows them to have access to a higher number of spectators, without falling into ease or populism.

The students were able to attend but also participate at the 269th performance. The students were surprised when they knew that some of them were going to participate in a less conventional Germinal, which was a great success. The classes were able to admire the role-playing of the students as well as the professors who volunteered to join the cast of actors.
