Theatrical show
Saturday, August 24 - 8 p.m.
At the Saint-Vallier multifunctional center
The true and tragic story of Marie-Joseph Corrivaux, a woman convicted of murdering her second husband, Louis-Étienne Dodier.
Presented by the municipality of Saint-Vallier, Marie-Joseph Corrivaux's birthplace and residence, Sur les traces de La Corrivaux presents the real facts of the trial, her execution, and the legends still very much alive in the collective imagination.
Musicians, actors, and extras play the role of historical figures and take turns telling the dramatic story of this young woman who marked history and left her name in the legend of La Corrivaux.
Staging and casting are being handled by the National Battlefields Commission's activities team, and some Saint-Vallier residents in period clothing play the roles of those present at Marie-Joseph Corrivaux's trial.
