“I loved the team and the spirit of the festival! I love the principle of an accessible festival, where the public is fully present alongside the creators and actors. There’s no barrier between a ‘creative elite’ and the rest of the public. No, everything here is done in a very Belgian spirit of openness and simplicity. Above all, it’s about meeting people. All the people I was lucky enough to meet in the organization were absolutely wonderful: young, old, but above all warm-hearted and in a great state of mind”.
