Ninon at ease within the troop
The girl has integrated well into the company of actor and director Michel Didym, former director of the Manufacture theater in Nancy. “The troupe is really friendly and welcoming, the actors put her at ease and told her that she had done well”, proudly tells Virginie Thuillier, Ninon’s mother, also of the adventure to oversee her daughter on the spot. “As soon as she was selected for the role, a work contract was signed, everything was well framed from the start,” explains the mother.
How did the student at the local theater school end up giving voice to professional actors? “Maxime, one of the animators spoke about Michel Didym who was looking for a child to play Louison and suggested that Ninon apply. In April, she did a tik-tok to introduce herself and then spoke with the director and with Nina Le Poder, the manager of the Boomerang company. “
