Created in 2009, the Groupe de théâtre mai 1848 works to promote all that pertains to the commemoration of slavery. In May 2011, the group gave a performance entitled 'Freedom or nothing else' during the festival 'Un passé trop présent' ('An all too present past').
The association said the following about the play: 'without wishing to deny the work and ideas of the abolitionist Victor Schoelcher, we want to highlight the heroism and resistance of runaway slaves. They deserve to be foregrounded by proclaiming their courage and determination.'
The objective of the Groupe de théâtre mai 1848 is to promote all that pertains to the commemoration of the abolition of slavery, especially regarding the culture and history of this period.
