From one 9/11 to another
About
On September 11, 2001, a group of terrorists hijacked airliners and the World Trade Center towers collapsed. A few weeks later, from quotes from American newspapers transformed into an oratorio, the French playwright Michel Vinaver wrote a poignant play: September 11 2001.
​
Ten years later, in 2011, 44 young high school students from Seine-Saint-Denis, accompanied by 5 professional actors, performed this play at the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, then on tour.
To achieve this show of rare intensity, it took 18 months of remarkable work directed by and animated by the director Arnaud Meunier, the actors of his company, many passionate high school teachers and the association "Citoyenneté jeunesse."
​
This project was the subject of a documentary film (From one 9/11 to another) directed by Guy Girard and of a book co-written by Jean-Charles Morisseau and Mathieu Palain.
