The Month of Francophonie highlights the cultural diversity of the Francophone space and the role of the French language as a language of dialogue, education, and international mobility. In Romania, Francophonie is present in both the educational system and cultural life: over one million pupils and students study French, nearly 6,000 teachers teach it, there are 25 bilingual high schools, and more than 100 Francophone university programs.
Through this performance, the Constanța State Theatre, together with the French Alliance of Constanța and the Honorary Consulate of France in Constanța, brings to the forefront the energy and creativity of young people, reaffirming the strong connection between Romanian and Francophone culture. The event transforms the French language into a space for artistic expression and intergenerational exchange.
