Where did the Man on the Motorcycle go?
Celine Caussimon
Where did the Man with the Motorcycle go? refers to Edith Piaf's song, L'homme à la moto. Remember, at the end of the song, we only see his panties, "his boots, his black leather jacket with an eagle on the back" but not the motorcycle or its driver. In her show, Céline Caussimon plays Inspector Mélodie, from the BAC (Brigade d'Activité dans la Chanson) who decides to conduct a musical investigation through French song from the 60s to the present day.
THE GODMOTHER
Le jeudi soir, les différentes troupes ont pris part à une scène ouverte, où chacune a eu carte blanche pendant 5 minutes pour proposer une performance de leur choix. L'occasion pour elles de présenter un aspect de leur culture au public international du Frankoscény !
Le samedi soir, c'était la soirée de clôture, un moment festif pour les participant.e.s avant de se quitter !
ARTISTIC PRACTICE WORKSHOPS
During the festival, artistic practice workshops will be offered to participating troupes, supervised by professional French artists .
