NATIONAL READ ALOUD COMPETITION #6 Under the high patronage of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports Theme : POEMS OF EUROPE

PRESENTATION OF THE READING ALOUD COMPETITION Aborder la lecture à voix haute avec comme support textuel la poésie a pour mérite l’expression immédiate de sentiments divers, de faire œuvre de catharsis et de jouer avec les mots. Le Concours national de lecture à voix haute a été imaginé et conçu par Florence Saint Ygnan (alors en poste à l'Institut français de Prague comme attachée de coopération à la langue française) et Éric Cénat. Plusieurs formations à la lecture à voix haute ont eu lieu au sein même de l'Institut français de Prague afin de préparer au mieux les enseignants en français. Les objectifs artistiques, pédagogiques et linguistiques sont les suivants : Prononciation et placement de la voix; Langage corporel/maitrise corporelle; Regard au public; Transmission et gestion de l’émotionnel; Mise en avant de sa personnalité à travers les écrits d’un autre. Ces rencontres de Lecture à Voix Haute visent à développer l'intérêt des jeunes tchèques pour la poésie, ainsi que pour la lecture expressive, la langue française et la francophonie en général. "Approaching reading aloud with poetry as a textual support has the merit of immediately expressing diverse feelings, of creating a cathartic effect and of playing with words." Éric Cénat - artistic director of Nové Scény Get all the tools you need for successful reading aloud: Eric Cénat presents his best tips for a successful reading aloud! 2026 Edition 2023 Edition 2025 Edition 2020 Edition 2024 Edition 2020 Edition

FESTIVAL PRESENTATION Ancre 1 Velké Scény 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. "We want to show the universal dimension of theatre and the importance of the French language and its influence throughout the world."

Frankoscény #3 - April 22-23-24, 2022 Back to a physical edition! THE PROGRAM PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition Hradec Kralové - Czech Republic Prostejov - Czech Republic Trencin - Slovakia Olomouc - Czech Republic PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition Apple Valley Directed by Clément Peretjatko based on a text by Marie-Pierre Cattino Synopsis: Twan sees Ma crying on a rock. They decide to leave the forest together to join the apple valley that their parents have designated for them as a haven of peace. There, the shooter in the straw hat will not be able to reach them, and maybe even the moon will show itself to shine again! But how can two children of six and eight years old find their way hidden by too many warpaths? And what if, from up there, between the stars and the rifle shots, an eagle tired of the chaos of the adults descended to dry their tears and take them under its wing? PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition On Thursday evening, the various troupes took part in an open mic night, where each had five minutes to present a performance of their choice. This gave them the opportunity to showcase an aspect of their culture to the international audience of the Frankoscény! PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition For the first time, Literary Encounters took place at Frankoscény! These meetings with Lenka Horňáková Civade, a Czech and French-speaking writer and patron of the festival, were an opportunity for the students to discuss with her the richness of her work at the crossroads of two cultures and two languages, French and Czech, and to show them more concretely what learning French can bring them. They were also able to discuss with her the themes related to questions of translation and interpretation when one finds oneself caught up in language constraints. These rich and exciting exchanges delighted both the students and Lenka Horňáková-Civade. PARTICIPATING TROOPS - 2023 edition During the festival, artistic practice workshops are offered to participating troupes, supervised by professional artists. This year, Claire Vidoni, Clément Peretjatko and Éric Cénat took part.

After completing her master's degree, Violette wanted to discover the field of international cultural cooperation in a professional setting, with a view to becoming a cultural cooperation attaché. She was recruited as a volunteer on a civic service mission by the Théâtre de l'Imprévu to ensure, alongside Sarah Courson and Éric Cénat, the organization of the #3 edition of the Frankoscény festival.
