]Theatre of catastrophe: the hard-hitting play about France's Grenfell moment

I think it's so sad that people in Marseille are still dealing with the aftermath of that tragic accident 7 years later 
. It's like, where is all the progress? How many more lives have to be lost because of broken homes and inadequate authorities 
? Mathilde Aurier's play is a great reminder of what's at stake here – it's not just about a few houses collapsing, it's about a community being ignored and marginalized 
. We need people in power to listen and take real action, not just throw some money at the problem or give token sentences 
. The fact that there's even controversy over the TV series adaptation shows how much work still needs to be done 
.I'm still giving it some thought about this play... I mean, 65 Rue d'Aubagne is like a really intense exploration of what happens after a tragedy strikes, you know? It's not just about the people who lost their homes and lives, but also about how the system fails them. Mathilde Aurier does an amazing job at showing the different perspectives, but it can be overwhelming to watch. I love how she uses non-linear storytelling to convey the chaos and confusion that everyone experienced. The criticism around the court trial verdict is valid though... justice should've been served better.
