Poum Poum T'chak! Just by reading the name, you can already hear the drums, ready to warm your heart in these troubled times. Aurélien Collin, the manager, took advantage of the confinements to renovate his bar, and thus push his project even further: that of offering a privileged place to let musicians and comedians express themselves in complete freedom. He offers an eclectic selection: jazz one Tuesday a month, funk, gypsy, rock and classical music jams one Sunday a month, rock and metal concerts - no one is left out! Enjoy a good sound and a good drink, and off you go for an excellent evening you'll remember for a long time to come!

Fancy listening to Sacred Music in Nantes? Every year, this Nantes-based musical association offers us a real "season". The Sacred Music concert season runs from September to June and features the choirs of Nantes Cathedral. With the regular participation of organists and specialized professional musical ensembles. Children and adults from the cathedral choirs take part in concerts aimed at all audiences. The repertoires covered span the entire history of music, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Concerts take place at Nantes Cathedral and the Chapelle de l'Immaculée, among other venues! Pending the reopening of the cathedral (following the fire), the concerts are relocated as a "mobile season", and they always take us on a journey to the heavens! The full program is online.

Since 1991 (30 years soon), the Acthalia theatre has been creating contemporary plays (Schmitt, Assous, Reza...) at Caveau 105, at the Cité Plantagenêt. Seven to eight shows are offered each season and are presented every weekend. It was the director, Philippe Corbé, who took over the drama workshops following the death of Olivier Couasnon, founder of the company, in 2012. Lovers of the verb can here appropriate the classical or contemporary repertoire, take a leap into improvisation, and perhaps one day follow in the footsteps of the actor Franck Sémonin who followed this course before taking off for television.

Located in the heart of Nantes, between Place Royale and Place du Cirque, the Fabrique à Impros is, as its name suggests, a cultural and artistic venue dedicated to the practice of improvisation. The small theater opened its doors in September 2019 with the aim of bringing together the many improvisation companies, facilitating public access to this discipline and legitimizing it. Since its creation, it has served as a federating distribution space and a resource center for improvisation in the Nantes region. The theater is a convivial space organized around three areas: a bar, designed as a meeting point for Nantes residents, to share good times before shows and do improv again afterwards; a 90 m² auditorium, equipped with sound and light (and a 15 m² stage), seen as a space for discovery and pleasure, where innovative creations are proposed, mainly performed by Nantes-based troupes; and upstairs, the actors' offices and dressing rooms (in other words, the theater's backstage area). Companies wishing to use the Fabrique à Impros for rehearsals or artist residencies are welcome to do so. The venue can also be made available to companies wishing to use it privately for a seminar or performance, or even for training purposes. Throughout the year, shows for all kinds of audiences are produced and programmed. One-off courses and annual workshops are organized for children, teenagers and adults of all levels. Alongside its theater activities, the company also organizes major off-site events in and around Nantes (special dates, festivals, etc.). La Fabrique à Impros is also a team of professionals working all over Nantes (and beyond!) to share their passion and skills with you. Their interventions are as diverse and varied as the people who call on them: schools, works councils, local authorities, hospitals... As their aim is to spread improvisation to all types of audiences, they want to pass on their know-how through unique, high-quality experiences. And whether they're entertaining, training or animating, their watchword will always be: fun!
