At last, the Fresque Historique at Bridiers has finished. Though the experience was exciting, the four nights were quite demanding. The feedback from everyone who attended the event has been remarkable & so positive. Sadly, as a performer, it was impossible to see the whole spectacle. If not performing, one was changing costumes or preparing (in the dark) for the next scene. I shall have to await the production of the DVD in November.
Nevertheless, I and my son have some amazing memories supported by numerous behind-the-scenes photos, some of which I wish to share:Our coulisse (group) was involved in the scene depicting the assassination of Jean Jaurès by Raoul Villain.
