The seasons – the myth of Persephone and Hades

On this Thursday evening, in the amphitorium of Charles III College, the numerous spectators were welcomed by the 5th grade students of the International Section and their teachers.

As the lights dim, the room gently enters the myth of Persephone and Hades. Through their stage games, music, dances, dialogues, costumes and scenery, the actors have managed to make us relive this enchanted tale to the rhythm of the seasons.

On a wonderful day when Persephone, Demeter’s only daughter, enjoys picking flowers with her best friends. Suddenly, Hades, god of the Underworld, appears and kidnaps Persephone to take her into his dark kingdom and make her his wife...

This year, all the profits from the Charity Show will be donated to the Monegasque association Jeunesse et avenir, which organizes leisure activities and offers holiday stays to children and teenagers particularly from a disadvantaged social background, in the continuity of the work undertaken by Father Marius Grassi in 1959.

We would like to thank in particular Mr. VINCI, Director of National Education, Youth and Sports, for his valuable support.

A big thank you also to Mr. BERTRAND, Principal of the Charles III College, Mr. DASSONVILLE, Principal-Assistant of the Charles III College, the coordinators and the professors of the International Section and all those who have, directly or indirectly, worked for the success of this exceptional performance.

Finally, all the applause still goes to congratulate the student interpreters of the 5th International Section who have again dazzled us with their dynamism and confidence in the amphitorium of the College!
