Projection du documentaire “A l’ombre de l’abbaye de Clairvaux”

Wednesday, February 5: LES LOGES MARGUERON – Screening of the documentary “In the shadow of Clairvaux Abbey”. At the Crogny high school at 7:30 p.m. The summary: At the Clairvaux Central House, within the walls of the former Cistercian abbey, Michel and Pierrejean are what are called “long sentences”, sentenced to more than ten years in prison. In this world where security comes before all else, where the closed cell door is the rule, everyone seeks their own way in order to best live their detention and prepare for their life after. At the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Cîteaux, Founder of the Cistercian Order in 1098, the monastic community still lives today according to the Rule of Saint Benedict – dear to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux – which dates from the 6th century. Brother Pierre-André, Brother Benoît who took a vow of enclosure and chose to extract themselves from society share with us their paradoxical experience of freedom. A dive into the heart of confinement, forced or voluntary, in a mythical place, to understand the meaning of punishment and what, in the 21st century, living in a closed environment means.
