12 Hommes en colère

Twelve voices. A verdict to be reached. Unanimously.

In a deliberation room, twelve jurors must decide the fate of a young man accused of murder. The evidence against him seems overwhelming. The verdict seems obvious. But the truth is never simple, and doubt gradually creeps into each juror’s convictions. Amid prejudices, tensions, and convictions, every voice counts.

This gripping behind-closed-doors drama, in which the decision must be unanimous, explores with rare intensity the notions of justice, individual responsibility, and the power of the collective. Despite being set in the 1950s, this now-classic play resonates with striking force in our own time, when judgment and truth remain at the heart of public debate.

Performed by twelve seasoned actors, this production delves into the heart of a fascinating human and psychological struggle, where words are both a weapon and a refuge, and where the slightest doubt can upend the course of a life. A vibrant and essential play.
