On September 25, Théâtre Le Sésame echoed with pride and presence during our celebration of Franco-Ontarian Day and the 50th anniversary of the green and white flag. On stage, Mehdi Cayenne delivered a striking and soulful performance — a blend of poetic grit, raw rhythm and fearless tenderness.

Every word carried the language like a living banner. Between glowing lights and pulsing sound, the evening became a tribute to a francophone identity that is diverse, free, and ever evolving.

Sincere thanks to ACFOMI, co-presenter of this unforgettable evening, as well as CEPEO, CECCE, AFO, MAFO and everyone who joined us. Together, we honoured 50 years of shared francophone passion.

A heartfelt thank-you as well to our partners and funders for their continued support throughout the season.
