Description or summary of the proposed project

The Les Évadé·e·s Troupe and the AVC - "Artistes Vivants Cabossés" Show: An Inclusive and Innovative Project

"AVC - Artistes Vivants Cabossés", presented by the troupe Les Évadé·e·s, is a vibrant and inclusive performance blending music, contemporary dance, poetry, striking compositions that merge French chanson and pop-rock, dreamlike storytelling, and video creations into a collective and deeply human work. Comprising artists with disabilities, professional performers, and amateurs, the troupe celebrates diversity and self-surpassing, offering a vision where art becomes a vehicle for resilience and inclusion.

In constant evolution, this show adapts through encounters and partnerships, enriched with new songs, visuals, and scenographic intentions. Each unique performance showcases the value of learning and growth through interaction and connection. AVC is an ode to humanity in all its nuances, where everyone can find themselves, and where the margins of society become the centerpiece of the stage.

At the intersection of raw art and professional creation, AVC unveils often-overlooked talents and places artists accustomed to the margins at the forefront. More than just a show, it is an artistic, social, and therapeutic performance—a genuine tribute to humanity, celebrating the strength and beauty found in differences.

Why is this project attractive for partnerships?

1. Strong Social Impact: By supporting this project, you contribute to the professional integration of individuals with disabilities while participating in a broader movement of inclusion and awareness across Europe.

2. Sustainable Economic Model: The project is based on a solid business plan that includes diverse funding sources (public grants, ticket sales, sponsorships) and creates both direct and indirect jobs. This economic approach aligns with the principles of social and solidarity economy.

3. European Reach: By collaborating with European organizations through the Creative Europe program, this project fosters cultural exchanges, strengthens the Francophonie, and promotes shared values of diversity and equality.

4. Opportunities for Partners: As a partner, you benefit from increased visibility, positive impact on your brand image (social commitment and CSR), and the chance to co-create innovative activities around the show (workshops, debates, conferences), or even develop a joint project based on the existing material of this performance.

AVC is eager to grow through new creations, support for its development, and adaptation or co-creation based on established partnerships.

More than just a performance, "AVC" positions itself as a lever for inclusion, a vector for social transformation, and a concrete example of integrating vulnerable artists into the professional market. Accessibility for all audiences, particularly individuals with disabilities, is at the heart of this project.

This initiative embodies the ethos of the Les Sonores Ondes association, which produces the show, and the Les Évadé·e·s troupe, who are fully committed to this inclusive and innovative approach.
