30th edition of the Street Arts Festival _ From 14 July to 29 August 2025
Thirty years ago, Fontenay-le-Comte created a street arts festival whose name has continued to shine ever since: Les Ricochets! From neighbourhood to neighbourhood, it has brought you artistic encounters and discoveries, in a spirit of ever-renewed curiosity.
In 2021, the Community of Communes extended the Festival to two municipalities for the first time. Year after year, its popularity has grown, and for this 30th edition, four stops in the region are on offer.
Les Ricochets is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and this edition will reflect what the festival has embodied since its inception: a joyful, accessible and deeply human celebration.
In 2025, you’ll need to be well shod! The festival invites you on a journey of shows and emotions, from town to town, from Fontenay-le-Comte to Saint-Cyr-des-Gâts, via Pissotte, Les Velluire-sur-Vendée and Saint-Martin-de-Fraigneau for a festive opening. Each stage is an artistic stopover, each place a promise of discovery and conviviality.
Les Ricochets en territoire is culture that circulates, weaves and connects. It is laughter that bursts forth, emotion that surges, conviviality that imposes itself as a matter of course. It is a festival for everyone, without barriers, without pretension, with the simple and precious pleasure of being together.
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.

In 1988, in the heart of Nassogne, a handful of audacious people created a festival of Fairground Theatre and Street Circus around the Collegiate Church of Saint-Monon. The building is lined with hundred-year-old lime trees. The event will naturally be called ‘Les Tilleuleries’! The original aim was to explore a different facet of the theatrical world and to bring shows to the heart of the village outside the traditional structures.
Today, the festival is an integral part of local folklore and attracts an intergenerational audience that is very attached to the event. Many volunteers come to lend us a hand. So don’t hesitate to offer your help!
An inimitable style, wacky humour, impressive stunts… All spiced up with a magical touch of poetry and sensitivity… Welcome to the “Les Tilleuleries” Street Arts Festival!
Just imagine! An open-air stage lined with hundreds of spectators. Sparkling eyes. And smiles. Waves of ‘wow’ and ‘hooo’ from the crowd. And at the end? Thunderous applause.
It’s a familiar recipe in Nassogne: a human-scale event in the heart of the village, 5 professional shows, outstanding musical entertainment, a family atmosphere and a festival open to all.

For more than 20 years, Morlaix Communauté has been supporting the dissemination of street arts in the communes of its territory, as close as possible to the people who live there. The principle: quality programming, with a focus on burlesque and circus arts, playing the multi-disciplinary card, promoting artistic dissemination in the public space, favouring a close relationship between artists and spectators, guaranteeing accessibility for as many people as possible and giving pride of place to intergenerational activities.
In 2021, the town of Morlaix and Morlaix Communauté, with the support of the Le Roudour cultural centre in Saint-Martin-des-Champs, are joining forces to offer a joint programme. The summer period is punctuated by street arts in July-August and September, with several dates in the town of Morlaix and one date each year in three other towns in the area.
By providing financial support to the companies and organising the ‘Les Rues en scène’ festival, Morlaix Communauté is fully embodying its cultural ambitions.
