Jean-Paul Farré takes to the stage at Théâtre Essaïon with "De la servitude volontaire", an adaptation of Étienne de La Boétie's famous text, until April 27, 2025. A fascinating plunge into the mechanisms of power and submission.

Written in the 16th century, De la servitude volontaire poses a fundamental question: why do men agree to be dominated by one? More than a denunciation of tyrants, La Boétie questions the responsibility of peoples for their own submission. A visionary text which, five centuries later, continues to enlighten our times.

If you're used to going to the theater to see plays with 8 actors on stage, then you'll be surprised to find that there are quite a few plays where the actor is alone on stage. For the curious or the connoisseur, we've put together this guide to the only ones on stage to be seen in Paris at the moment and in the near future. [Read more]

Under the spotlight of the Théâtre de l'Essaïon,Jean-Paul Farré brings La Boétie 's words to life in a lively performance, where the force of his words blends with a sober yet powerful staging. In this one-man show, he invites us to reflect on our relationship with power and authority figures.

This timeless text will appeal as much to lovers of philosophy and history as to those seeking to understand the forces of domination and freedom. A powerful reflection on consent and revolt, performed by an exceptional actor.
