As part of Centrale Lille’s efforts to combat sexual and gender-based violence, a play is put on every year for first-year students in the internal schools.
This year, the play chosen was “Le procès de King-Kong” (The Trial of King Kong), presented last March at the “Cpas1option” Prevention Seminar, in front of the student participants and those responsible for the associative life of the CGE (Conference of Grandes Ecoles) schools.
“Le procès de King-Kong” is an interactive play that immerses the audience in a people’s court. The judge calls on the public to help to understand and judge three cases involving three protagonists who have experienced turbulent integration evenings at their new school (abusive ragging/hazing, sexist or racist behaviour, sexual abuse, etc.). In turn, the characters find themselves in situations where they have adopted the behaviour of a stalker, sexist or racist, where they find it difficult to recognise their own actions and consider themselves to be either guilty, victims, accomplices, or simply innocent.
