Drôle(s) de festival - Tout en musique

Its demanding program mixes local companies and structures accustomed to national stages, to sow seeds of reflection in the minds of the youngest while delighting them with immersive scenography.

Programming :
- FORÊTS | Nelson
Saturday, November 2 - Electro-vegetal concert
At Maison Georges-Brassens
From age 4 - 2 sessions: 3pm and 6pm - Duration: 45 minutes

Songs about spring, beetles, species relationships and secret trees, with heady pop refrains. To the sound of electric guitar and cello, synthesizers and electro instrumentation, the chiseled lyrics are as much a poetic invitation to wonder as they are an incitement to dance!
Forêts is also an exploration of sound, with a plant singing like a third musician on stage, accompanying the duo's notes and songs with its voice and sounds.

- TAKATOKÉ | Compagnie O Tom Po Tom
Wednesday, November 6 - Theater, storytelling, music
At Maison Georges-Brassens
From age 6 - 1 session: 3pm - Duration: 50 minutes

To the rhythm of poetic language and guitars, double bass and ukulele, rock metal and reggae, children and adults embark on an age-old quest: to eat! Or...not to be eaten!
The show brings us face-to-face with a gallery of endearing, distressing and anguished characters, all of them improbable and a little offbeat: animals and vegetables, from frogs to a ghoul, a tenor sheep with riddles, a spunky curler, a bread dough mad with rage, a calibrated-formatted carrot or a Mexican onion in tears, we ask ourselves: what's it like to be yourself?

Bonus Plop: enter the artists' world with Charlotte Rouet and extend the experience! Plop will welcome you to the foyer with an original proposal for before and after the show.

- LE GARCON À LA VALISE | La Compagnie de Louise
Saturday, November 9 - Theater
At Maison Georges-Brassens
Ages 8 and up - 2 sessions: 3pm and 6pm - Running time: 1 hour

Le Garçon à la valise tells the story of two migrant children, Nafi and Krysia, who cross the world to escape war and reach what they believe to be an El Dorado: London.
It all begins at Nafi's home, where her father used to tell her stories. One day war breaks out. Nafi finds himself alone. Along the way, he meets Krysia, and together they brave every danger to reach London.
Will reality live up to their expectations? And how can their culture save them after such uprooting? Based on a work by Mike Kenny.

- ON A VOLÉ LE LA | La Boitazik
Wednesday, November 13 - Musical
At Maison Georges-Brassens
From age 4 - 2 sessions: 3pm and 6pm - Running time: 55 minutes

The LA has been stolen! The concert is in danger of being cancelled. But that's without the intervention of Docteur Zik, the orchestra conductor. He cleverly foils the Machiavellian plans of Mister Couak, a bitter, vengeful musician who's gone wrong. Like an opera ghost, Mister Couak has bewitched all the instruments that refuse to play.
Doctor Zik, with the help of the audience, brings the bewitched instruments back to life and allows them to express themselves. The concert can finally take place, and the dreadful Mister Couak can finally rediscover the pleasure of music!

- LA MOUETTE ET LE CHAT | La Terre qui penche
Saturday, November 16 - Musical and theatrical tale
At Maison Georges-Brassens
From age 7 - 1 session: 3pm - Duration: 50 minutes

A seagull, victim of an oil slick, washes up to die on the balcony of Zorbas the cat, big, black and fat. With her last strength, she lays an egg. And makes Zorbas promise to incubate it, protect the chick and teach it to fly. And since a promise from a harbor cat commits all the cats in the harbor, a whole gang of cats mobilizes to help Zorbas keep his promise.
Through the hilarious adventures of Zorbas and Afortunada, the little seagull, we discover solidarity, tenderness, nature and poetry. The seagull and the cat is a
humanist and ecological tale. Based on the work by Luis Sepúlveda.

Bonus Plop: enter the artists' world with Charlotte Rouet and extend the experience! Plop will welcome you in the foyer with an original proposal to experience before and after the show.

- À PETITS PAS BLEUS | Compagnie Pipa Sol
Wednesday November 20 - Puppets
At Maison Georges-Brassens
From 1 year - 2 sessions: 9.30am and 11am - Duration: 30 minutes

A shoe determined to live its own life breaks loose from the foot that's holding it on. From adventure to adventure, it discovers the whims of the elements and finds its way.
Happy or unusual discoveries, moments of fear, the pleasure of play... Feelings and emotions run high.
À petits pas bleus unfolds a poetic tale with a calm, soothing rhythm, using pure, plastic images, accompanied by music, sound effects, occasional lights and even smells.

- UN COCON PEUT SUFFIRE | Compagnie Dyrapso
Thursday, November 21 - Chansons
At Maison Georges-Brassens
From age 6 - 1 session: 7pm - Duration: 45 minutes

A musical and poetic show about solitude for voice, violin, guitar and bass.
Two people, a guitar, a bass, a violin and songs tell the story of a young woman trapped in her cocoon, and the man who helps her get out.
The cocoon is both home and prison, speaking to the senses and feelings. In the course of their exchange, we realize that every dislike, every feeling is shared, not always for the same reasons. They talk about themselves, the world around them and their experience of solitude.
Free with reservation.

- CANDIDE | JM France in partnership with Le Carré Amelot
Saturday, November 30 - Hip Hop and beatbox
At Maison Georges-Brassens
From age 6 - 1 session: 11 a.m. - Duration: 50 minutes

Isma and Bookie Blanco converse on stage as they do in life. They create a sensitive, supertonic dialogue between hip-hop dance and beatbox, expressing themselves wholeheartedly and with their whole bodies.
Candide is the story of this face-off, an artistic duel in which they measure themselves against each other, challenge each other and, above all, have fun! We marvel at each other's artistry and recognize the points of connection: explosive rhythm, expressive body language, explosive energy! The gaze of others, ridicule, frustration, but above all the lightness of simple shared joys.
