The Campaign

December 18th, Ma place est dans la salle was simultaneously a concert, a one man show, a classical piece, a ballet, a musical, during which the audience was able to quench its thirst for sensations and culture. Ma place est dans la salle is also a series of video testimonials, tweets and social media posts in which celebrities, comedians, singers, and dancers show their involvement. From backstage to under the lights, and on the streets, all reasserted their belief that singers, comedians, actors belong on the stage and audiences in front of them. And for each of them: #MaPlaceEstDansLaSalle Across France, the public has been invited to book tickets and showed their support and their determination to carry on attending shows by sharing photos, videos and their thoughts. Laughter, joy and life echoed in concert halls and theatres: #MaPlaceEstDansLaSalle
