The artistic immersion program 'Flow Estival#2' is set to take place from July 7 to 18 in Saint-Girons, offering free creative opportunities for youths aged 14 to 25. Organized by the SMAC départementale Art’Cade and the LE & C Grand Sud youth pole, this initiative aims to foster artistic expression under the guidance of Nicolas Lafforgue, a prominent artist known for his multifaceted work in rap, poetry, and theater.

Participants will engage in a variety of activities including writing, music production, and performance, with sessions held every afternoon from 2 PM to 5:30 PM. Lafforgue, who has experience in notable post-rap groups like "10" and "Sans Doute Ailleurs," will lead workshops that cover text writing, music composition, and vocal training, alongside cultural outings to enhance their artistic journey.

The program will conclude with two public performances: one on July 11 at 6 PM featuring 'La Guerre Irrationnelle,' co-created by Lafforgue, and another on July 18 at the same time showcasing the participants' own works and followed by a concert by Sans Doute Ailleurs. The project is inclusive, encouraging both novices and experienced young artists to explore their creativity. Interested youths can register for the program, which requires a nominal membership fee of 5 euros to join the LE & C Grand Sud.

With a focus on both learning and public performance, 'Flow Estival#2' promises to be a transformative experience for the youth of Couserans, providing them a platform to express themselves artistically.
