Theatre of catastrophe: the hard-hitting play about France's Grenfell moment

[Dark Dragonfly]

I gotta say, this theater piece is really touching on some heavy stuff . The way it highlights these deep-seated social issues in France, like urban inequality and gentrification, is just eye-opening. I mean, 8 people lost their lives in that Grenfell disaster, and it's crazy how much attention we're still giving to systemic change .

I love how the playwright, Mathilde Aurier, is using her own experiences of trauma and marginalization to create this powerful narrative . It's not just a play about what happened; it's also about how people are struggling to cope with these issues and find justice. And I'm all for it - more voices telling these stories need to be heard!

Of course, there's always going to be concerns about accountability and infrastructure , but I think Aurier is onto something here. This play isn't just about the victims; it's about a society that needs to confront its problems head-on. Fingers crossed it sparks some real change !

omg i just saw this play 65 Rue d'Aubagne and it was SO moving i felt so bad for those people who lost their loved ones that fire was like a nightmare come true... anyway what's with all these shows about urban inequality? don't they just make u wanna cry but yeah, i guess mathilde aurier is trying to say something important... does france have like, super strict building codes or what?

I think it's awesome that they're tackling this super tough topic like Grenfell in a French theatre, you know? It shows that people are willing to have hard conversations about social issues and inequalities. But at the same time, I'm worried that it might just be a one-time performance and not enough systemic change will happen . Like, what's gonna happen next? Are there more plays like this or is it just a one-off event? And also, can we talk about how some people are saying that the production is gonna spark a national conversation but I'm like... how are they even planning on making that happen? It feels kinda wishy-washy. Anyway, I hope Mathilde Aurier's play does bring up some important points and gets people talking about it .

Marseille is basically showing us all what happens when you ignore the problems for a while... 65 Rue d'Aubagne had me feeling like I was stuck in one of those social media posts where everyone's all "oh, we're so woke" but then someone mentions Grenfell and suddenly it's all very real . Aurier's play is like the ultimate wake-up call – if you live in a city with 8 bodies piling up because of neglect, that's your wake-up call.

I just read about this play 65 Rue d'Aubagne that's tackling the Grenfell disaster and I gotta say it's super thought-provoking ...the way Mathilde Aurier weaves together personal stories of trauma and social struggle is really powerful and I love how she's not shying away from the hard stuff . It makes me think about our own cities back home, like how gentrification can push people to the edges and leave them feeling invisible ...Aurier's right that it takes a collective effort to make real change happen ...I hope more voices get added to this conversation because we do need to shine a light on these issues

I'm so moved by this play about Grenfell... it's crazy how some places can look so perfect on the surface but have such deep-seated problems underneath . The fact that it's happening in a city like Marseille, which is supposed to be modern and fancy, makes it even more heartbreaking . We need more voices like Mathilde Aurier speaking out about these issues and pushing for change . It's not just about the play itself, but what it sparks into action .
