Carré Histoire – Cannes 2025: we were there, we held out, and we (almost) survived!
In early 2025, we arrived at the FIJ’s Carré Histoire like a battalion on a mission: Gettysburg, Brandywine, and a few nuggets from our Sound of Drums comrades under our arm.
Valentin was making heroic charges on Brandywine,
Sébastien was holding the line at Gettysburg from time to time, but often on the offensive!
And I, Yves Roig, provided logistical, strategic and tactical support… and caffeine.
Two prestigious generals accompanied us:
Uwe Walentin, in Blitzkrieg mode, with Assault, Hellas, Eylau – three fronts, zero prisoners.
Jason St Just, a revolutionary through and through, presented 1793 – Traitors and Patriots with as warm a welcome as a speech by Danton.
The result?
Lots of people, lots of laughter, lots of sweaty fun, enthusiastic feedback,
Little sleep,
But above all: a huge amount of pleasure shared with all the fans who came to see us!
Would you do it again? Of course we would. But give us a week’s nap first.
