As every year as part of this educational partnership, the Master 2 students from ENSAPLV in Scenographie et architecture: de l’œuvre au lieu, were supervised by their teachers Mahtab Mazlouman, Jakob Gautel and Marco Dessardo. They benefited from the support of the scenographer Emmanuelle Roy, the actress Elena Borgogni and the technical team of the theatre.
The students developed 15 stage set models, exhibited in the theatre lobby from January 6 to 29, 2025.
With the ENSAPLV students Simon Achard, Najib Ait Lahcen, Lisa Amirat, Guillermo Arevalo Aucahuasi, Sabrine Belguasmi, Anouk Berger, Emilien Bouttier, Melina Delgado Loayza, Hacina Djaafri, Michael Duvan Galvis Marin, Mathias Goeman, Thibault Graves, Alexandre Humbert, Louise Le Sergent, Joseph Legrand, Cecilia Lindersson, Davide Mauro Memmola, Bruno Morales, Gabriel Nicosia, Maarten Op de Beeck, Maria Oudovitchenko, Sonia Pascal, Rémi Robert, Klelia Shpendi, Flore Slangen, Lou Soler, Eloise Vanholder, Tjil Verhoeven.
