"Bright Generations - Générations lumineuses": Let's celebrate ASSITEJ's 60th anniversary together!
Every year, ASSITEJ International organizes artistic gatherings bringing together more than a hundred delegations from its national centers around the world.
In 2025, the association will celebrate its 60th anniversary in the country where it was born: France.
For one week, hundreds of professionals from around the world will gather for an exceptional program: 19 French and international shows, as well as 60 professional programs and evening gatherings.
Join us on Sunday, March 23rd from 4:45 PM at Théâtre de La Criée in Marseille for an extraordinary opening ceremony!
This grand celebration will feature: welcome speeches, danced postcards by children from various coutries, a poetic journey through our 60 years of history, interactive and festive moments...
And to end in style, a grand Parade of Fireflies led by the children of Marseille, who will accompany the international delegations to the Old Port for a shared celebration.
Parade starting at 7.30pm from Place Bargemon (Old Port).
Join us to blow out our 60 candles together!
