The Ecole des Maîtres is an advanced theatre training project conceived by Franco Quadri in 1990. The training objective of the Ecole des Maîtres is to initiate a relationship between young actresses and actors, trained at drama academies and theatre schools in Europe and already working as professionals, and renowned directors of the international scene, in order to give life to a work experience strongly aimed at comparing and exchanging skills on staging methods and practices, starting from different texts, languages and artistic languages, during itinerant ateliers.
The Belgian actress, author and director Anne-Cécile Vandalem has been invited to lead the XXXII edition of the Ecole des Maîtres. The title of her workshop is Hauntings, rituals, legacies and transmissions: «The theme of haunting will be at the centre of our work: what are the buried narratives, the ghost-stories that our dominant narratives prevent us from hearing? As our present cracks, the great stories that supported us yesterday are now revealing their obsolescence. From these faults, undeniable today, minor, unheard, invisible stories re-emerge to haunt us.»
