"An entertainment bubble". Since the start of confinement, many artists have connected a camera in their living room to offer a concert to their audience. But no one had yet taken the next step: organizing a festival. It is now done with "I stay at The House" which is held every day from April 1 to 7 between 4 pm and 10:30 pm on the dedicated Facebook page. Guest of "La France Bouge" this Friday, Louis Favre, the initiator of this event, returns to the origins of this somewhat crazy project, which brings together a hundred artists.

"I threw a bottle into the sea"
It was when he saw "a friend playing on Instagram with friends" from Portugal that Louis Favre got the idea for this festival. Convinced that the concept had to be imported into France, this director of a digital marketing agency dedicated to the cultural sector therefore decides to use his address book. "I allowed myself to send an email to my contacts by proposing this project to them, I threw a bottle in the sea, and I received a big wave of emails."

Concerts from 4 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Two weeks later, no less than 95 artists answered his call, a team went up, the "canap prod", and the shows started. "These are 30-minute concerts, with a special program for children between 4 pm and 5 pm, at snack time," said Louis Favre. Then, it is the "general public" artists who go up on stage and who take turns performing the show until 10:30 p.m.
