Genesis of the Program I^er Acte

I^er Acte was born out of a common realization of the dire lack of diversity in the French theater scene. It has been successively supported by the Colline-Théâtre National and the National Theater of Strasbourg.

The Ier Acte workshops are aimed at young actors who, in their artistic, professional or personal journey, experience discrimination.

Ier Acte - a program developed by the National Theater of Strasbourg, The Edmond de Rothschild Foundations and the SNCF Foundation. In collaboration with the Festival d'Avignon and the Odéon Théâtre de l'Europe.
