Description
In 1999, the Diables Bleus action group took up home in a building of the Saint Jean D’Angely military garrison in Nice, former home of their famous Blue Devil namesakes, the Chasseurs Alpins.
The Diables Bleus action group is a non profit making organisation and brings together several artistic and recreational associations. The Diables Bleus philosophy is one of openness. The group cultivates relations with many French cultural and citizen’s associations. A future hope in this field is to extend these relations outside of France, and in particular, to develop European exchanges between theatre companies, musical groups, circus artists, and any other action groups campaigning for democracy, citizen involvement, the performing arts, culture for all, and similar themes. Within their own neighbourhood, the Diables Bleus participate towards social cohesion, weaving a fabric between generations and between neighbours. They also participate in the struggle against cultural and social inequality.
