Between January and June 2013, I documented the work of a group of child-actors at the acting school “Langages et Expressions” (Beirut, Lebanon) while they prepared for a new staging of Moliere’s comédie-ballet “Le Bourgeois gentilhomme” by Valerie Vincent, from the very first reading to the opening performance at Monot Theatre. I also took a series of portraits of the actors in costume and in character.
