Maurice-Alexis Jarre (13 September 1924 – 28 March 2009) was a French composer and conductor, "one of the giants of 20th century film music" who was "among the most sought-after composers in the movie industry" and "a creator of both subtle underscoring and grand, sweeping themes, not only writing for conventional orchestras... but also experimenting with electronic sounds later in his career."
Although he composed several concert works, Jarre is best known for his film scores, particularly for his collaborations with film director David Lean. Jarre composed the scores to all of Lean's films from Lawrence of Arabia (1962) on. Notable scores for other directors include The Train (1964), Mohammad, Messenger of God (1976), Lion of the Desert (1981), Witness (1985) and Ghost (1990).
Jarre was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Three of his compositions spent a total of 42 weeks on the UK singles chart; the biggest hit was "Somewhere My Love" (to his tune "Lara's Theme", with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster) by the Mike Sammes Singers, which reached Number 14 in 1966 and spent 38 weeks on the chart.
The Théâtre national populaire (French for People's National Theater) is a theatre now at Villeurbanne, France. It was founded in 1920 by Firmin Gémier in Paris. The theater's policy is to deliver quality entertainment accessible to the general public.
The TNP is one of the first theaters in France with a clear development strategy. The public is invited to attend meetings and the theater implements a communication policy based on working with associations and committees. Even though it is criticized for not attracting blue collar workers, the TNP is a model for many other theaters in France.
Today, the TNP has a company of ten resident actors and the building is currently being completely renovated.
The Théâtre National Populaire (TNP) was founded in 1920 in Paris at the Palais de Chaillot by Firmin Gémier. During World War II, activity was suspended and the building was occupied by the United Nations.
In 1951, Jean Vilar was appointed head of the new theater by Jeanne Laurent. The theater reopened at Suresnes pending the return to the Palais de Chaillot. Vilar thought of the theater as a public service, and gave it a new image. Under his leadership the theater offered quality performances shown at prices and times to suit the general public. The TNP attracted a group of brilliant young actors including Gérard Philipe. Productions from this time include Le Cid and Der Prinz von Homburg by Heinrich von Kleist. Vilar hired the young composer Maurice Jarre as music director. Jarre scored 36 plays including the famous Lorenzaccio.

Lundi 6 octobre à 18h30 en salle Roger-Planchon, le TNP a accueilli les 10 ans de l’Université Populaire de Lyon. Une conférence de Edwy Plenel (co-fondateur et président du site Mediapart) animé par Philippe Corcuff, co-fondateur de l’Université Populaire de Lyon, maître de conférences de science politique à Sciences Po Lyon, autour de la thématique “Médias indépendants et participatifs, esprit des universités populaires et avenir de la démocratie” Il y a des affinités électives entre l’esprit des universités populaires et une expérience de média indépendant et participatif comme Mediapart dans la perspective du développement d’une citoyenneté active. Ces affinités électives ont à être tout particulièrement cultivées dans un contexte où nos idéaux démocratiques vont mal dans les faits,...

Ils nous ont oubliés basé sur le roman La Plâtrière de Thomas Bernhard mise en scène Séverine Chavrier du 7 au 13 octobre 2023 Aux abords d’une ancienne usine à chaux, la nuit de Noël, une femme a été retrouvée dans son fauteuil roulant, tuée d’un coup de fusil en pleine tête. Quelques temps plus tard, on découvre dans une fosse à purin son mari, à moitié mort et fou, une carabine à la main. Retraçant méticuleusement la succession des événements ayant conduit au crime, le récit sombre dans l’enfer conjugal. L’enquête policière se meut en cauchemar métaphysique. Paru en 1970, La Plâtrière est l’un des premiers romans de l’écrivain autrichien Thomas Bernhard. Séverine Chavrier, directrice de la Comédie de Genève depuis 2022, tout en prenant des libertés, reste fidèle à l’esprit bernhardien ...

The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood red banner streams afar:
Who follows in his train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below,
He follows in his train.
That martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave;
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on him to save.
Like him, with pardon on his tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
Who follows in his train?
A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came;
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their heads the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?
A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven,
Through peril, toil and pain;
O God, to us may grace be given,
