The idea was to gather all the french people after the attacks of November.

Making them laugh, making them live their life by going out. For that we mobilize more than 150 different shows, by changing their names, replacing by a slogan "Ma place est dans la salle" which means "My place is at the show", organizing an event and communicate with Radio, TV, social platforms...

Our target was the French people that used to go to theatre, ballet, one man shows, musical comedies but not only, because the French people that like to got out, laugh or just live, are affected too. So, we aimed at 66 millions French people and foreigners which are supporting them as well.
