Around this performance, workshops are held in partnership with the initiative “Une âme pour l’Europe” a soul for Europe with various topics such as “the mobilisation of cultural and structural development” and “urban development and culture”.

By the distribution of letters written by the children of Nathalie Jacquier’s class (Tables Claudiennes in Lyon) for the school Campanus, very close to the cultural centre, the teacher, Tamara Solomcikovà, had to contain the hustle and bustle of the class (namely that of Ngoc, Min Anh and Ivan, our young Czech comedians).

This is a letter written by a child from Prague:

“Hello my name is Filip. I am nine years old and I am in the third class of the Campanus primary school. I live in Prague 4. I have two younger brothers – Dominik and Lukáš. Together with Mummy and Granny, we live all together in the council blocks of the city. I play football with Dominik, I love playing video games and riding my bicycle.
Best wishes
Filip”
