says: theater saved him.
Since then, he has borne vibrant witness to this in a one-man show in the form of
restorative justice. For such is Redwane's life, with its bad boy stockings
the low points of a bad boy's life in prison, and the high points of his life
at Le Pontet prison to Olivier Py's Antigone and Joël Pommerat's

At the end of his show, Redwane Rajel shares, "I was born a second time
second time that day, on the Parisian stage, thanks to those men
midwives. I realized that I could do good for people.
people. Of course, when you're in prison, you don't feel like a human being anymore.
