Catch… the thread of others!
The essential participants of this atypical festival, held in Nice, are people with disabilities, social difficulties, or psychological issues. It allows disabled and non-disabled artists to meet, exchange, and create together. It’s a way to express, narrate, and showcase an openness towards difference, making everyone aware of their own place.
A whirlwind of human and artistic encounters
The festival highlights Art through exhibitions of visual arts, photos, films, dance performances, theatrical representations, concerts, and music. It also features unique sports events (wheelchair tennis, guide dog demonstrations).
The company L’Entrée des Artistes
Particularly attentive to the integration of this audience, the company has been committed for many years alongside people with disabilities through social, artistic support measures, or art therapy workshops. It is supported by the Ministry of Culture, the City of Nice, the General Council of Alpes-Maritimes, and ADAPEI.
