Our goal for the upcoming season is to stay finely tuned to our academic objectives, which include spending time and energy on various styles of expression. At heart, we aim to give our students a wide variety of experiences with directors who will enhance their knowledge by building a strong versatility. Therefore, we believe that the comedy aspect of our practice must be put forward, not to display empty content, but to put into perspective the fact that sometimes it is better to see the bright side of things and to open ourselves to the beauty that fights so strongly against the darkest sides of humanity. This is why we hope that this theme that travels between laughter, hope and love will be one that will resonate within us with strength and depth.
