"Dream, Laugh, and Celebrate"
Our group and its founding members
The group of artists MOMENT SPECTACLE was created in 1993, in order to guarantee its members their freedom of creation. Everyone's skills are put to use and give the group autonomy in three ways:
- Artistic autonomy: MOMENT SPECTACLE brings together all the talents necessary for the development of quality shows (writing, staging, music, video, costumes and accessories).
- Technical autonomy: The group is equipped with sound-light-video for up to 350 spectators (see our section "Room layouts"). Beyond that, our years of experience guarantee you contacts with precise and exhaustive requests, limiting the cost of unnecessary rentals.
- Autonomy of distribution: Independent, without intermediary or artistic agent, MOMENT SPECTACLE devotes itself exclusively to the distribution of its own creations. Unlike talent agencies, no commission is taken from artists' salaries.
By removing all intermediaries, the group of artists MOMENT SPECTACLE allows you to benefit from shows at exceptional value for money, played by talented artists who love their job.
