Poilu’s Park ! – Theatre

Show & Culture

Branle-Bas de Combat presents Poilu’s Park !, a show inspired by a true story from the First World War. In 1914, in Commercy, Major Rhem turned military quarters into a performance venue to help soldiers cope with the trauma of war. The “Poilu’s Music-Hall” later became “Poilu’s Park”, offering theatre, cinema, concerts and sports activities. The company revisits this story through a participatory cabaret show exploring the memory of the Great War.
