The originality of this project lies in the priority given to transversality and the plurality of artistic disciplines proposed with exceptional speakers.. The playwright, actor, auteur Olivier Py is the godfather of the academy.
“I am proud to sponsor the magnificent project of Héloïse Gaillard and Patricia Petibon.Their vision of transmission far from academicism is an example of interbreeding and openness. We can never link the artistic and the educational enough, the past and the future, the public and the requirement. In these superb places cradled by the Loire and under the heraldry of Eleanor of Aquitaine will invent aunparalleled artistic incubator. Mixing the arts has always strengthened the disciplines, the two fairies leaning over this cradle, meeting and workshop, show and research, have everything to make this adventure a great success. This oasis of intelligence and emotion on the banks of the Loire is for everyone. Those who want to deepen their gesture, those who discover harmonic magic and those who listen and admire fleeting beauty. There is no doubt that there will be created an innovative project essentially built on the democratization of culture. »
