This Wednesday, November 21 at 3 p.m. at the Nice Opera, the children and adolescents of the Forum Nice Nord are presenting to their peers a show on the theme of the Francophonie: “Which FRANCOPHONIE° 2009 Circus the French!”
This show is the result of the work done over a year by 70 children and youths from Nice Nord, aged 6 to 18, around the theme of the Francophonie and its values: respect for gender equality, discovery of the originality and diversity of Francophone cultures.
These young people were accompanied by an artist in commedia dell’arte and professional facilitators. They then wrote, prepared, and directed the show. This action was partially funded by the Metropolis Nice Côte d’Azur within the framework of the Urban Social Cohesion Contract.
On a reinvented circus ring, the audience will discover, often in a humorous way, the sporting and cultural challenges of the Francophonie Games and especially the richness and history of the French language.
