EXCEPTIONAL in the Live Show category on a limited budget for the show BASTOGNE, “LES ROUTES DE LA LIBERTE”
Thea Award winners announced in November 2021 will be celebrated in April 2022 at the TEAs held in Anaheim at the Disneyland Resort for the annual TEA Summit and winners will be crowned at the TEA Thea Awards Gala presented by Chimelong .
BASTOGNE, “THE ROADS TO FREEDOM”
With this commemorative show produced last winter, Luc PETIT paid a monumental tribute to the anonymous people plunged into the maelstrom of the Battle of the Ardennes! 75 years after this standoff between Nazi Germany and the Allies, this anthem held in suspense and moved 30,000 people including the last veterans at the foot of the Mardasson memorial in Bastogne.
The show mobilized and deployed the creative potential of all artistic disciplines and involved the local population to immerse the public in the strategic challenge and the story of feats of arms, before a final bringing together the people in the process of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the inspiration for European construction.
“THE ROADS TO FREEDOM”, because remembering is a guarantee of the future, because people stop living when they stop remembering.
