It just happens. It’s got it’ ups, and downs, and creations can sometimes be a mess. Of course it is. We bare our souls.
I wouldn’t be the designer that I am today had it not been for Franco.
He once said, “On s’baisse les culottes, et puis c’est inconfortable, mais on’a pas l’choix. Sinon, c’est de la gesticulation”
We were rebels!!
Merci Franco!

It feels so unfinisched and unfair. I cherish forever our collaborations introducing your Saltimbanco, Allegria and Quidam in Belgium, Euro 2000, KaDo, Nutcracker and Aïda. Talking with you was always an inspiration, always goodhearted, simple and honost. Your world was bases on endless creative ingenuity. Your world had no borders or boundaries. I will remember you as a genius, as a honorable, reliable and faithfull man. Franco deserves a noble price for his livetime achievement. But first of all he was a kind and good man, father, husband, friend.
I’ll miss you. A bientôt Franco
