Nearly 30 years ago, the cult film LA HAINE by Mathieu Kassovitz was released, a symbol of a generation, a great classic of French cinema, revealed and rewarded at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, then by 3 prizes including that of best film at the Césars. Praised by critics, including internationally, arousing the admiration of personalities like Steven Spielberg who declares "to love the film".
Kassovitz returns with a lively and immersive creation. The director revisits the story of his cult film by adapting it for the stage, emphasizing the film's eminently contemporary nature.
On May 31, 1995, Mathieu Kassovitz brought the suburbs to the screen for the first time. A film carried by three actors (Vinz, Said, and Hubert) who were still unknown to the battalion.
The story of these three young people confronted with economic, social and political difficulties, the condition of women and which, in parallel with its codes, is an ode to love, solidarity and friendship.
A project anchored in current events, therefore, and whose innovative form intends to immerse the spectator in a “ride” through Paris and its suburbs thanks to a unique device creating a dialogue between the stage and the screen: 14 scenes inspired by the film, redesigned by Mathieu Kassovitz, will be broadcast on a projection system, coupled with the sets and especially with the performance of the actors on stage.
This show combines dance, cinema, rap, theatre and live performance in an augmented, resolutely modern and unique form, carried by an original soundtrack which also makes the link between the 90s and today.

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
