Weekly cross-border Workshops
We're rolling with MASK'AR'ADE 2025!
On October 5, MASK'AR'ADE resumed its workshops. Children from the École du Port du Rhin and several schools in Kehl are working together to create a new play, which will be performed next year.
The big news this year is the intergenerational aspect of the project. In collaboration with the Ovélia retirement home, children and residents are meeting, sharing ideas, and incorporating their experiences into the creation of the show.
There are still a few places available on the German side. Feel free to send us an email at info@transc3nd.org if you would like to join the project!
Edition 2023-2024
The workshops took place on Wednesday afternoons from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., alternating between the Falkenhausenschule in Kehl and the Chapelle de la Rencontre in Port Du Rhin.
This year, the Mask'ar'ade show is called Juliätte + Roméo = à notre Sosse (Juliiette + Romeo = Our Way), a musical comedy version.
Two rival clans, made up of the children themselves, the Pumpkin Killers and the Power Girls, fight over territory while the two directors, Jenni and Jane, try to reason with them by emphasizing the major themes of this Shakespearean play:
Love, Rivalry, Friendship.
This updated version of Romeo and Juliet immerses us in a modern, funny, and fun world as seen through the eyes of children! The show was performed on April 17, 2024, at the Kulturhaus in Kehl and on June 7, 2024, for the CSC neighborhood festival in Port du Rhin.
Edition 2022-2023
That's it, Mask'ar'ade 2023, is over!
The workshop had took place on Wednesday afternoon from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., alternatively at the Falkenhausenschule in Kehl and at the Ateliers Eclairés at the Port du Rhin.
This year, the workshops took place with the partnership of students from the University of Strasbourg, who accompanied us throughout the first semester!
We are happy to announce you that our show with the title DUALIA was performed on the 24th of May 2023, in cooperation with the Science Po Arts Office at 7 p.m. in 14 rue René Descartes, Le Portique, in the Evolution room in Strasbourg.
Another show took place on the June 10, 2023 at the neighborhood party Port du Rhin.
2021-2022 Edition
For this Edition, our weekly workshops took place with children from the Port-du-Rhin neighborhood and the Josef-Guggenmos Schule in Kehl.
Every Wednesday afternoon, from October to June for the Germans, and from January to June for the French, we met each other at the Ateliers Eclairés and in the premises of the Kehl school.
Together, our artist-speaker Jennifer Rottsegge, and the president of TRANSC3ND, Manon Bilger, have developed a program rich in theatrical experiments and expression games. Abu, a participant in our ArteFaktory summer camp turned volunteer for TRANSC3ND, and Angélique, our intern, were an indispensable help!
Together, the children invented sketches to tell a fantastic journey through their imagination, their comic book heroes and their favorite animals.
This year we had two performances of our end show!
Once on May 25, with the Science po's Bureaux des Arts, and once on June 11 at the Port-du-Rhin neighborhood party!

Edition 2020-2021
During the 2020-2021 edition, workshops at the CSC Au-Delà-des-Ponts in Port du Rhin combined visual arts, dance, and theater, in partnership with artist Cécile Tonizzo.
This year we had the chance to attend the show Ne pas finir comme Roméo et Juliette (Don't End Up Like Romeo and Juliet) by Métilde Weyergans and Samuel Hercule.
Among other things, it tells the story of two very different people, separated by a bridge, which was a perfect fit with our teaching methods and objectives. With TRANSC3ND, we want to open doors and cross bridges.
Among other things, it tells the story of two very different people, separated by a bridge, which tied in perfectly with our teaching methods and objectives. With TRANSC3ND, we want to open doors, cross bridges, be open-minded, and embrace difference. We all loved the show and were delighted to be able to take the children to see it.
On Saturday, May 29, we had the pleasure of visiting Le Maillon accompanied by the children from the MASK'AR'ADE project and artist Cécile Tonizzo for the children's dyeing exhibition evening.
In the lobby of Le Maillon, the children were able to talk about the workshops and present their work to the public and their parents.
The children were delighted with the MASK'AR'ADE project, as Aya said, “I really liked this project because we were able to draw inspiration from our imagination and the things we love,” and Ethan added, “I loved doing this project with the others and my friends.”
