30 Years Later: Still Nothing Has Changed
Nearly thirty years after shaking French cinema to its core, "La Haine" returns — this time, to the stage. Mathieu Kassovitz’s groundbreaking film, a raw reflection of a divided France, is reborn as "La Haine" - Jusqu’ici rien n’a changé (So Far, Nothing Has Changed): a multidisciplinary show fusing theater, dance, rap, and immersive technology.
What began as a whisper in 1995 — “Jusqu’ici tout va bien” — still resonates today. Three decades on, little has changed. The anger, the tension, the poetry of the streets — everything that made La Haine a cultural earthquake remains painfully relevant.

From Screen to Stage
Instead of rewatching the past, Kassovitz chooses to rewrite it. Together with producer Farid Benlagha Le Hazif and renowned Quebec stage director Serge Denoncourt, he transforms his cult film into a living, breathing performance—an artistic explosion that reimagines La Haine through movement, rhythm, and raw emotion.
The result: a 90-minute journey split into fifteen powerful tableaux, tracing a day in the lives of Hubert, Vinz, and Saïd. The audience is placed right inside the story—part witness, part filmmaker—immersed in a seamless blend of speech, rhythm, and choreography. A new kind of urban musical, where realism meets performance art.
-
The Beat of a Nation
Music has always been La Haine’s silent heartbeat. In this stage version, it finally takes the lead. Guided by producer Proof, the soundtrack places French rap—once misunderstood, now the country’s most popular genre—at the center of the narrative.
Each scene pulses with original tracks created by iconic and emerging artists, merging rap, electro, and global influences. The songs will also be released on streaming platforms, extending the experience beyond the stage and into everyday life.
-
Reinventing the Message
Visually, the show embraces minimalism and innovation. Designed by Montreal’s Silent Partners Studio—known for their work with Harry Styles and the Super Bowl—the stage becomes a digital canvas, blending projections, light, and live performance. Kassovitz and Denoncourt reinvent La Haine for a new generation, crafting something deeply cinematic yet rooted in live emotion. Ambitious, political, and viscerally contemporary, La Haine – Jusqu’ici rien n’a changé isn’t just an adaptation—it’s a statement. A reminder that art, like rage, evolves but never fades.
Because if nothing has changed so far, maybe it’s finally time to ask why.
