Description

Once the most powerful woman in France, Marie Antoinette now finds herself alone. After attempting to escape Paris alongside her husband, King Louis XVI, she was captured and brought back to stand trial. For many, she embodies everything that was most reprehensible about the monarchy: excess, indifference, and tyranny. But is this truly the truth, or a narrative shaped by the anger and despair of a people in revolution? With the king already condemned, it is now up to her to answer for her actions before a nation in turmoil. Was she complicit in an act of high treason, or simply swept away in the fall of a dying regime? Did she act of her own free will, or was she a prisoner of the will of an all-powerful king and an inflexible system? Was her escape an act of treason… or an attempt at survival? Throughout this experience, you will hear arguments from both sides, question everyone's motivations, and confront the biases of history itself. In an era when women like her rarely had the opportunity to make their voices heard, can she be judged without having been truly listened to? In the end, the decision is yours.
