This is what the organization of this highlight dedicated to humor, which is being held in Lille from January 31 to February 9, 2025.

For an “inclusive and open to all” festival

For the first time, the closing gala called “Woke me up” will offer a translation into sign language for the deaf and hard of hearing, announces the festival organization. Thus, the event aims to be “inclusive and open to all”. Concretely, the translation will be done live on the dates of February 6 and 7. “Four people, including two deaf people and two translators from the Vice and Versa association, will take turns every 20 minutes to ensure fluid and energetic translation in sign language. Installed in a booth with a broadcast screen on stage, they will translate the entire show in real time, providing an inclusive and immersive experience for everyone,” presents the Lillarious team.
