Playground in Nect’arts festival in Carmaux
Nect’arts Festival – A festival for the whole family to enjoy
Circus arts, street arts, laughter, music… The Nect’arts Festival returns in September to the lush Candou Park in Carmaux.
With a rich programme to fill you with excitement and extend summer in the north of the Tarn.
To make culture accessible to all, the town of Carmaux has devised a rich and diverse cultural season, in particular the Nect’arts festival, in collaboration with L’Été de Vaour.
In order to continue growing, Nect’arts has been spreading throughout the region with the Nec’arts Ségala Tour for the past two years. Its aim is to bring culture directly to places where it is not always easy to access. All this has been made possible thanks to L’Été de Vaour, a privileged partner of the town of Carmaux, which for more than 30 years has been promoting a unique project around the performing arts in rural areas (ZRR).
The city of Carmaux also thanks its authorities for their support: the Occitanie region, the Tarn department, the Carmausin-Ségala community of municipalities and the ADDA of the Tarn. its new partner OYA and its driving forces working for the success of this festival: Point de fut, the Scène nationale d’Albi•Tarn, the USC sports boules jeu lyonnais, the services of the city of Carmaux and all the volunteers who have joined the adventure. Thanks to them, the story continues to be written…
The Collectif Primavez will present the show Playground in Nect’arts festival on 13 September à 15h30 et 17h45 .

Do Artists Need Their Audience? Without a doubt—without spectators, there is no show. But can artists also rely on their audience physically? Miguel Rubio takes on this challenge with Playground.
Here, the staging depends entirely on the spectators. Their gaze, their presence, and even their bodies support the structure of the performance. Seated on eight chairs connected to the Chinese pole, they become a key element of the scenography. Those who accept this role will feel just how much the artist leans on them to keep everything in balance. Blending Chinese pole acrobatics, dance, theater, and humor, Playground is a performance full of surprises and extraordinary adventures. It is an aerial and absurd playground where comedy meets acrobatic prowess, suspended more than eight meters above the ground.
After collaborating with numerous companies and diverse projects, Miguel Rubio wanted to take the Chinese pole to the streets. He designed a self-sufficient system in which the audience itself becomes the pillar of the performance. With Playground, the magic of the Chinese pole comes to life, unfolding anywhere and for everyone.
