Synopsis

Gathering around a fire to exchange extraordinary stories, with the sounds of the night in the background and the forest as a backdrop... this is the kind of moment that Patrick Baud and Damien Maric wanted to recreate: those that we share with friends on summer evenings, discovering each new story with wonder. "La Veillée" is inspired by an American concept, "The Moth", created by the poet and novelist Georges Dawes Green in 1997. The principle is simple: a stage, an audience, and true stories. By inviting people to come and tell their personal stories, the Moth has several goals: to share unforgettable stories, of course, but also to meet others, to be inspired by their journey, to discover their experiences, their visions, their doubts, their dreams. Dissolving barriers, at a time when it is more and more necessary. And you, what is your story?
