Join us on Friday 1 August for the traditional summer market in the Ursulines cloister.
From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., stroll around the Cloister and browse the stalls of local craftsmen and producers. The Molokoye brass band will liven up the early evening! At 9pm, settle down in the centre for an intimate Quel Cirque! show.
What a Circus! :
"Molokoye - 5pm
Molokoye revives the tradition of Creole brass bands, paying tribute to the music that has set the pace in the streets of the French overseas territories since the 1950s: biguine, mazurka, merengue and zouk from the West Indies meet Haitian kompa, and cross paths with sega and maloya from Reunion Island and Mauritius. A tropical-flavoured repertoire that's sure to make you want to dance!
Creole brass band
"Quand on était seul-es" - 9pm
They have long hair. Two men, one woman. Anyway, three people. Two acrobats, a musician, a Chinese mast and guitars fill the stage in a purely aesthetic performance. We explore the essence of solitude, we try to connect without merging, and then we try to find
the hidden strength deep inside.
"Quand on était seul-es" is about becoming anchored, pulling yourself up, throwing yourself down and falling. It's the music that carries as much as the body. It's the bonds we forge as we dance. Love invites itself in, revealing itself in many different ways. And the power is in putting yourself at risk, without knowing if you'll stay there.
Intimate circus, dance and live music
All audiences - 45 min
