Lénine

Lénine is not a person currently in the news, but rather a historical figure. He is relevant in the context of the Théâtre du Soleil's new production, "Ici sont les dragons," which explores the rise of totalitarian regimes between 1918 and 1933. The play uses masks, voices, and sets to depict this era. The Théâtre du Soleil itself is newsworthy due to an ongoing external audit examining its employment and working conditions, prompted by accusations of sexual violence. This audit, requested by the Ministry of Culture, is expected to conclude at the end of March. The company is resuming performances of "Ici sont les dragons" amidst these investigations, adding another layer of complexity to the production's reception.
