Francois Genoud, known for his role as a financier and supporter of Nazi and far-right movements, became involved in fascist circles at an early age and was an active sympathizer of Nazi Germany. After the Second World War, he acquired a certain fortune by investing in companies linked to the former Nazis and managing secret funds for several figures in the regime. He died in 1996, and his life has given rise to many questions about his motivations and influence in far-right networks after the war, which will surely be explored at the Théâtre de la Renaissance in the thriller L'Injuste .

Our review:

The audience is treated to a thrilling face-off, driven by a staging that is both sober and dark. Jacques Weber, grandiose and terrifying, plays François Genoud to perfection, delivering a speech that is both provocative and shameful. AlongsideÉlodie Navarre, he instills a palpable tension that, as the play progresses, turns into a breathless thriller.

Beyond the historical aspect, the audience is captivated by the plot, experiencing every twist and turn with rapt attention. A must-see for fans of suspenseful theater.
