On October 16, a press release from the Ministry of Culture announced the arrival of Emma Buttin as director of the Théâtre du Beauvaisis (TdB). The appointment of a collaborator of Rachida Dati, at the time Minister of Culture, described as “political” had triggered a deep crisis. The ten members of the management committee of the Beauvaisis Theater Association (ATB) resigned, denouncing an “attack on the principles of balance”.
At the beginning of February, Emma Buttin took office. “I am aware of the controversies,” she says. I have read what has been written and written well but now I am in place. I want to be in the concrete things without worrying about the past.”
