Paris Commune
by Michael Friedman, Steven Cosson, The Civilians
Synopsis
In 1871, working class Parisians overthrew the French government, declared Paris autonomous and launched an attempt to radically reinvent society.
In this musical play, the Civilians brings this explosive event to life.
Paris Commune employs a bold theatrical form to tell the story of this first socialist revolution in Europe.
It uses found texts and original songs from the time period to tell the story of this extraordinary event in which the Parisian community radically reimagined its entire society.
