LET'S TALK ABOUT IT...
Frankoscény is an international, non-competitive French-speaking high school theatre festival , organised and supported by Éric Cénat, director of the Théâtre de l' Imprévu company ( Centre-Val de Loire, France) and co-organised by the Alliance française de Pardubice (Czech Republic).
Created in 2019 with the support of the European and International Cooperation Service of the Centre-Val de Loire Region, it now brings together French-speaking and Francophile amateur high school troupes from different countries, such as the Czech Republic of course, but also Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Tunisia and for the first time in 2024, Canada. These various troupes meet in Pardubice for three days , which are organized around the performance of the students' shows, round tables and artistic practice workshops. These highlights are enhanced by three evenings placed under the sign of the Francophonie and artistic exchange. On the first evening, the festival offers an "open stage" where participants can present, in a free form, what they wish to share with the other troupes. The second evening is made way for the professional show, proposed each year by the guest artist. And to close the festivities, a festive evening is organized to continue to encourage exchanges and celebrate the end of this human and artistic adventure.
Thus, the Frankoscény not only offers young participants the opportunity to perform on a real theatre stage (East Bohemian Theatre), but also allows them to benefit from varied artistic training, through workshops led by professionals. Resolutely focused on Europe, the festival places the human and civic dimension at the heart of its project.
