Trade shows at the Avignon festival

Subsequently, the company took up a residency at the Théâtre de la Jonquière in Paris. “They gave us four days of representation.“A success. Which led the three friends to play more than ten times in the living rooms of residents in Pays de Loire, Brittany and Ile-de-France.”Then we said to ourselves: ‘Let’s try Avignon.’ And I contacted a theater director who accepted us quickly“, smiles Lucie Le Blanc.

“The perfect place for us to discover”

The company will therefore play at the Tache d’encre theater in Avignon every day at noon except Mondays, from July 4 to 25. “This festival is the perfect place for us to discover“, slips the lyric singer.
