Le Chant des lions, theatre, Les Herbiers
On Friday 20 November 2026 at 20:30 the Théâtre Pierre Barouh in Les Herbiers hosts Le Chant des lions, a play about a song that changed the course of history. The listing sets it in 1933, when Germaine Sablon, one of the most popular singers of the capital, performs in a cabaret. In the audience is Joseph Kessel, journalist, author, aviator and adventurer. Their love at first sight is immediate, but war arrives and transforms the lives of the two lovers. Today all of Germaine Sablon's songs have fallen into oblivion, all except one: the one they created together, Le Chant des partisans. The page quotes Le Figaro Magazine, which praises movement, humour and emotion at every moment, and notes three nominations at the Molières 2026. The listed times are 20:30 to 22:00. Tickets cost 28 euros full price, 25 euros reduced and 22 euros for subscribers. A well-reviewed play with a true story is an easy evening alone. «Quand une chanson bouleverse le cours de l'histoire.» Starts 20:30, ends about 22:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Saison culturelle Les Herbiers (open data). The listing gives 22:00 as the end. Prices: 28 euros full, 25 reduced, 22 subscriber.
