For its 30th edition, the Festival de Marseille brings together 450 pupils.
With Manifête, about 450 children and teenagers will open this anniversary edition and occupy the city centre in a massive creative and festive movement.
Designed in collaboration with Badaboum Théâtre and, this unique protest is choreographed by Marina Gomes. Manifête, gives young people a voice, channels their energy, expresses their dreams, and celebrates their rights and commitments.
Manifête will be the result of workshops run throughout the year with 17 high school classes. The programme comprises a total of 310 hours of discussions and dance/creative workshops. Designed by and for these youngsters, the dance event will express their feelings, their desires, their visions and their dreams. A true celebration of cultural rights and children’s rights, this unique project will shine a light on dance as a tool for sharing and advocacy, while opening the way towards civic emancipation.
