Preceding the launch of the cultural season, the LES TRANSVERSALES festival is a celebration of street arts in all their many forms: street theatre, juggling, burlesque, circus arts, magic, music and dance take you on a journey through a series of delicate and humorous stories. There is something for everyone, whatever your taste or preference.
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.
Spring is coming to Lilliers with an exceptional programme combining musical entertainment, shows, concerts and festive moments for the whole family. This edition promises an explosion of colour, music and conviviality in the heart of the town.
Playground is a comical and absurd production that rises 8 metres high, combining Chinese pole, dance, theatre, acrobatics and humour. A tragicomedy full of surprises and unexpected twists and turns. This is Miguel Rubio’s challenge: his set design comes to life thanks to those who decide to support it. Eight chairs form part of the structure, and the audience who occupy them become a fundamental pillar. Without them, the show would not hold together.
As he tries to balance on the Chinese pole, Miguel Rubio faces unpredictable situations. To overcome them, he needs the physical and emotional help of the audience, who become essential accomplices in the show. Playground is a warm and characterful solo show based on a collaborative anchoring system. Here, the connection between the artist and the audience is key: without their support, the magic does not work.

The Big Boiseau association was founded in 2019 when a group of neighbours came together, united by shared interests and a desire to achieve things together. From group orders and music to live performances and a keen love of celebrations, their initiatives have taken shape and developed organically.
For the past few months, the association has had a base for a period of five years. This is the Fabuleuse Ferme de Fernand, situated in the heart of the village of Boiseau, at 16 Rue de la Perche. This space is to be imagined and built by the residents and local associations.
For a weekend, the residents of Boiseau invite you to the Big Boiseau Festival, featuring live performances and energetic concerts on Saturday, and a car boot sale on Sunday!
