Focus Cabaret #1

This autumn, it’s cabaret! The puppet nurtures a close link with this festive, transgressive, playful and porous genre to the public, conducive to the craziest experiments. With their shared history, the meeting of these two arts is celebrated over three evenings of creations and revivals that merge heritage and contemporary innovations.

Designed as a lasting rendezvous to renew each year in the company of an accomplice artist, this highlight around the cabaret aims to reconnect with a section of the marionnet tradition while directing it towards aesthetics and issues of today and tomorrow. Creations, cult covers and extracts of works from the repertoire create a living link between past and present as well as a warm closeness with the public. In a stimulating bubbling of music and forms, these collective and intergenerational evenings are part of the Saison Cabaret and give back to the genre its letters of nobility and its penchant for audacity.
