Audrey Azoulay, Minister of Culture and Communication, welcomes the appointment of Simon Delétang as director of the Théâtre du Peuple in Bussang (Vosges) in September 2017.
Simon Delétang, 38 years old, trained at ENSATT, former director of the Théâtre des Ateliers in Lyon, will propose an artistic project oriented towards contemporary texts and great stories, paying particular attention to the new generation of artists.
The Bussang People’s Theatre, subsidized by the State and local authorities, has been developing since its foundation in 1895 by Maurice Pottecher an unprecedented artistic adventure ensuring the presence of amateur actors among professionals.
Vincent Goethals will ensure his last summer season in 2017 by inviting Simon Delétang and will continue his artistic career in theatre.
