Weaving liberating bonds, this is the common point of the artists who will make this 2025 edition vibrate , come and discover them in the four corners of the city center of Alès!

On the forecourt of the Cathedral, the Madhuka Company will join a rope between heaven and earth, a poetic moment revealed by the festival poster; the Délit de Façade Company will intertwine the stories of a youth who face the world with full teeth to better be able to inhabit it; in music, the show 95% Mortel will invite you to joyfully weave a new field of possibilities; and you can even follow the thread of History thanks to the Collectif Jeanine Machine , which will make you experience a Pride March in Alès! For the opening picnic on Boulevard Louis Blanc, a real Magicians’ Release awaits you, with six magicians specializing in knots and other sleight of hand for a sensational start! With his overflowing imagination, Le G. Bistaki will also have fun pulling the threads of an incredible fresco with sheets for accessories, while the Cie La Hurlante will weave a story from the tumult of the lives of seven women. Finally, from morning until evening for three days, come to Place St-Jean to meet impromptu with the Cie Lonely Circus , who from the top of their wire will draw a living portrait of the neighborhood and its inhabitants. In a register recommended for older children, do not miss the caustic clown Typhus Bronx , who with comic cruelty will make you revisit a tale by the Brothers Grimm in the backyard of Urban Parc. Of course, festive music will also be there with the Fanflures Brass Band , and the festival will close with dancing in Place des Martyrs de la Résistance thanks to the communicative energy of the five singer-musicians of Poplitê !
