September will see the first American tour of the play “Angela Davis, An American Story” by the French company L’H\u00e9liotrope. A huge success at the Avignon Off Festival, Faustine Nogu\u00e8s<\/strong>‘ play, directed by Paul Desveaux<\/strong>, and interpreted by Astrid Bayiha<\/strong> tells the story of the arrest of Angelas Davis on October 13, 1970, by the FBI. Wrongly accused of murder, kidnapping and conspiracy, she was imprisoned for sixteen months until her trial, which found her not guilty in June 1972. In prison, Angela Davis continued her reflection and her struggle, notably on the conditions of incarceration and the question of political prisoners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A militant woman, black, communist, feminist, affiliated with the Black Panthers, philosopher, sociologist, she developed a complex thought, for civil rights, for a decompartmentalized feminism, against the death penalty, against the prison system… It is never a question for her of closing a cause on itself, but rather of understanding the relations, the interactions with the other circles of the discriminated and of opening the reflection towards an enlightened activism.<\/p>\n
