“I got to know Marie when she was playing the role of Cunégonde on stage in Candid of Voltaire, confides Jean-Claude Seguin. It was love at first sight for both the young woman and the actress. “Let’s cultivate our garden,” says Candide at the end of the tale. We put this lesson to good use in Orne where, thirty years ago, we created the garden which today hosts the festival. It was just a wasteland to begin with. »
Suspended due to the uncertainties of financing such an event, the festival in the garden resumes after a year’s break, supported by the company. To blow out these thirty candles of love, art, poetry.
