Playground at Rues en Scène Festival 2025
Playground at Rues en Scène Festival in Morlaix.
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.
The Collectif Primavez will present Playground at Rues en Scène Festival in Morlaix on 13 August at 21h15.

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.
