Marie Curie ou la science faite femme  (‘Marie Curie or Science made Woman’)

Winner of two Nobel prizes, Marie Curie, a pioneer in fundamental research, worked to ameliorate life for us all.  She battled for recognition in a masculine environment.  She died from radium sickness after too much  exposure to the element that she discovered.

We find her in her laboratory as well as on the battlefields.  We share her life as a woman, wife, mother.

During the play, Pierrette Dupoyet pays hommage to all those men and women who worked behind the scene for the progress of humanity.

SUNDAY JUNE 9th

Jacqueline Auriol or the sky interrupted. Written, staged and interpreted by Pierrette Dupoyet.

Theatre in the winery of the chateau: 9 p.m.

July 1949.  Test pilot Jacqueline Auriol is the victim of a terrible seaplane accident.  She is disfigured.  At the age of 31 she sees her dreams and her life overturned…

She will find the courage and the will to fight to regain her human face.  We follow her combat.  Thanks to her inner force and the expertise of the surgeons, she rejoins the ‘living’.  After 22 reconstructive operations she starts to fly again and is crowned the fastest woman in the world.  Before her 35th birthday she breaks the sound barrier.  Her rivalry with fellow aviator Jacqueline Cochran becomes a legendary duel and encourages her to surpass herself constantly.  She dies, aged 82, having proved that nothing is impossible for those who believe in tomorrow…

Duration of the play: 1h20.
