The company “L’entrée des Artistes” is organizing the “Au fil de l’autre” Festival until May 17. Based on the theme “let’s mix our differences and meet through sports and artistic practices,” this festival explores novelty and sharing.
People with disabilities, in difficult social situations, or experiencing psychological distress are the essential participants in this unique event taking place in Nice, which allows disabled and non-disabled artists to meet, exchange, and create. It’s a way to express, tell stories, show openness to difference, and make everyone aware that they have their place.
A whirlwind of human and artistic encounters
The festival highlights art through exhibitions of visual arts, photos, films, dance performances, theatrical shows, concerts, and music. It also offers unique sports encounters (wheelchair tennis, guide dog demonstrations).
A week of festivities punctuated by cultural and sports activities: a way to show that sometimes life hangs by a thread…
