The 2026 PROZAP THEATRE brought together seven schools from the Asia-Pacific region for an exceptionally rich multilingual and collaborative project. From the opening ceremony onwards, the Bangkok delegation set the tone for the event with infectious energy through their improvised performance presented in several languages. Over the course of three full and eventful days, the 180 participating students took part in inter-school workshops led by theatre professionals from the ATH Company, focusing on writing, directing, acting, voice work and stage design. Each evening, the facilitators also shared their professional talents by performing their own productions, giving students the opportunity to become spectators of remarkable performances in turn.

The students worked in a spirit of listening, respect and cooperation, creating together original pieces that combined several languages and cultures. The highlight of the event was the final performance, made up of ten independent scenes performed in around ten languages before the delegations, Mr. Guillaume CARIO, AEFE Director’s Delegate and Head of the Asia-Pacific Region, and Ms. Corinne CHAN YEU TACK, Headteacher of the Lycée Français Alexandre Yersin in Hanoi. The quality of the work achieved in such a short period of time impressed all participants.

Beyond its artistic success, this first edition also fostered strong connections between students from the different schools, without any sense of competition, with everyone leaving enriched both personally and culturally. The event, supported by the AEFE and hosted by the LFAY, confirmed the importance of arts education in students’ development. The enthusiasm and joy shown by the participants already make everyone eager to repeat the experience next year.
