We’re going to go back to childhood, unless we never got out of it! For the first time, the association Festibriquespassionate regarding Lego®, will settle down at the sports hall in Magenta for a weekend, on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November.
Objective: to welcome collectors of small colored bricks so that they can display their creations and fans, young and old, to enjoy them. “ To date, we have received registrations from around twenty Lego® collectors, we can still accommodate more », Indicates Jean-Gérald Villari, secretary of the association and organizer of the event in Magenta.
During these two days, it will be possible to discover several worlds: “ typically Lego® universes and original creations “, explained M. Villari.
The association also promises a surprise to visitors: David Constant, the president “ who has gold in his hands » should exhibit a monumental work made using 200,000 bricks! What is it regarding ? We won’t know any more, the secret is well kept!
As for entertainment, let’s point out a game for children where they will be asked to find a character on different stands in the exhibition hall, like “Where’s Charlie?” “. At the end, they will be able to win boxes of bricks. In addition, a mountain of bricks will be made available to visitors so that they can give free rein to their imagination and create characters, landscapes, objects… ” We said to ourselves that visitors also wanted to touch and not just look. We are sometimes impressed by their achievements », continues Mr. Villani, who he says “ fell into Lego® when he was very young ».
“It has become more than a toy”
And to add: “ I never stopped playing, I became an AFOL, Adult fan of Lego®. The majority of people played it then stopped and started once more when they had children or when they came across game boxes at flea markets. “. How can we explain such enthusiasm for this game created in 1932 by the Dane Ole Kirk Christiansen, carpenter? “ Because it has become more than a toy! “, declares Jean-Gérald Villari and “ because humans have always wanted to miniaturize their world “. The number of TV shows on the brand’s world also attests to this. For Jean-Gérald Villari, it is also “ a good way to clear your head and discover other worlds ».
There are many films that inspire the creators of Lego®, particularly Marvel. As such, Festibriques will exhibit in the cinema hall The Palace in Épernay a model which will echo the film Napoleon directed by Ridley Scott and which should be released in November. Bricks will also be made available to play with before the session. Lego® is definitely everywhere!
