Embarking on a historical and artistic project about Jean Moulin requires deep immersion in the hero’s life: visiting the places where he lived and the museums dedicated to him, devouring books about him, meeting his family, as well as talking about him with friends and family. We quickly realise that Jean Moulin’s name is everywhere - with many streets and schools named after him. Yet few know the artist that lay within, the details of his life, and the major role he played for France. Without him, France would not have been seated at the winners’ table. The country’s destiny would have been turned upside down.
The myriad of books written about him can give the impression that all has been said, written and commented. Paradoxically, however, we noted that such a mass of information tends to hinder our understanding of the man, his ideals and his achievements. Our aim is to tell the tale of Jean Moulin’s life to one and all, using short and concise texts, anecdotes, photographs from the family archives and, harnessing a more original format, through the magic of a stage performance. We strive to go beyond the static image of a symbol of the French Résistance, portraying Jean Moulin in a way that is lively and surprising, intimate and simple.
We wish you a thrilling and moving journey in the footsteps of Jean Moulin, glimpsing the man through the lens of family photographs, his drawings and the tale of his tremendous destiny. We hope that you will be touched to the core, as we were.

This artist performance athlete/pianist was created the occasion of the 120th anniversary of Jean Moulin's birth in Béziers. This very strong relationship of Jean Moulin with painting, music and sport inspired this creation. It takes advantage of this duality present throughout thelife of the French hero, at the same time man engaged in the battles of his time but also an artist, a dreamer in love with beauty and purity.
