Some paperboards as a decoration, a band its diffused on a tape recorder, projectors lent by the rock'n'roll group of the village and about fifty villager for the reception and the scene; the first sound and lights of Flagnac took life, in front of a hundred spectators; " Yesterday, a village" had been born. The request and the satisfaction of the spectators, the mobilization and the passion of the villagers are the elements paramount which led the spectacle to develop in a progressive and regular way, to fall under continuity. With an evolutionary aim, the spectacle knew multiple modifications, in particular technical, but also of setting in scene and improvement of the reception; and each summer, he sees himself bringing small details of improvement.
