Tomorrow, Tuesday, February 9, thirty students from the Théâtre Ecole d’Aquitaine, founded by Pierre Debauche in Agen, will give a show at the headquarters of the Drac (Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs) and the Region, in order to express their concerns. .
Faced with the loss of its approval to deliver the DNSPC (National Higher Professional Diploma of Actor), the subsidies are indeed decreasing as a matter of course for the Agen school, and a general meeting, scheduled for March 1, will have to decide between three options : in the short term, pass the course until the end of the year.
In the medium term, bring students who have just returned to the end of their schooling, in two years. Finally, the sustainability of the school.
Student delegations have already been received by the Drac and the Region, but with the disappearance of Pierre Debauche, the future actors feel that their establishment has lost its aura, and in any case the ear of the funders. “In 2021, the Drac will only subsidize the last promotion of third year to be able to obtain this diploma”, specified the director, Olivier Dumas at “South West” at the end of December.
“We want to show that we exist, that we are very much alive, by presenting them in Bordeaux with an artistic and benevolent service”, underlines a third year student.
