A show designed in collaboration with professionals, combining eye-popping artistic direction with the closest possible respect for the truth of history.
Anne-Marie Cocula, Historian and Guardian of Authenticity.
A specialist in modern European history (15th-19th centuries), Anne-Marie Cocula has devoted her career to teaching and research at the Université Michel de Montaigne - Bordeaux, where she was professor, lecturer and then president from 1994 to 1999.
Passionate about regional history, she is a member of the Board of Directors of the Battle of Castillon, where she ensures that every element of the show is historically accurate. Her expertise guarantees a faithful recreation of the events and characters of the period.
His doctoral thesis, devoted to the role of the Dordogne River in trade in the modern era, culminated in the publication in 2021 of his book "À propos d'une rivière et de ses riverains, le peuple de la Dordogne". His work highlights the importance of this waterway linking the Massif Central to Bordeaux and Northern Europe.
Thanks to its commitment, the Battle of Castillon offers an authentic and captivating journey back in time.
Art Direction by Éric Le Collen.
Author and composer of the Battle of Castillon show, Éric Le Collen breathes new life into the staging every year, constantly rethinking and enriching it.
An eclectic artist, he is also artistic advisor for the creation of the Cité du Vin in Bordeaux, founder of the Philosophia festival in Saint-Émilion, and designer of the launch ceremonies for the Hermione Lafayette in Rochefort.
His expertise and passion make the Battle of Castillon a lively and grandiose spectacle, where history takes on its full dimension.
The real asset of the Castillon 1453 association is its volunteers. Every evening, on stage and backstage, hundreds of them bring this great historical fresco to life.
From the off-season onwards, through workshops and rehearsals, everyone prepares under the guidance of recognised professionals. Each person shapes their role, learning to embody it with passion and precision, to give it to the audience when they perform.
At Castillon, we play "without a net", with the rigour and exacting standards required for a live show of this scale. A human and collective adventure in which history comes alive thanks to their commitment.
