ANIANE EN SCÈNES

This festival "of theatre and other acrobatics" brings together all the basic ingredients of live performance: circus, great texts, clown throwing, poetry, dramatised readings, magic, puppets, wandering, but also dance and humour. Nearly twenty companies offer some forty performances - burlesque, social, tragi-comic, with thrills, story-telling moments -, carefully selected in advance by a citizen programming committee. The shows take place in the historic buildings of the town belonging to the medieval heritage, such as the former abbey of St-Benoît (7th century), the square in front of the Chapelle des Pénitents (13th century) or wandering through the winding streets of the village.
