and premiered at the Autumn Zébrures Festival in Limoges in September. Who will succeed him? Man ? Women ? From Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean? The games are open and the September jury will be the only one to decide.
To send your text, only one address: prix.theatre@rfi.fr. Each candidate must send their text with title and name of the author as well as the completed registration form.
Before participating, read and reread your text, but also read the rules carefully
!
To participate, authors must be between 18 and 46 years old and send a text in French containing a minimum of 15 numbered pages (which is much easier for the reading committee to read). The prize is open exclusively to authors born and living in Africa, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean or the Middle East. To take into account local political situations, the call for submissions is also open to nationals of countries in the aforementioned zones, living in France for less than four years and holding a resident card or political refugee status.
