Playground at the Jours de fête Festival in Dijon 2026
Playground at the Jours de Fête Festival in Dijon.
Every year in May, the Fontaine d’Ouche neighbourhood celebrates! In 2026, it will be the 45th edition of the Jours de Fête. Almost three weeks of free events of all kinds (entertainment, shows, exhibitions, association day, etc.), but the highlight of the event is the Parade métisse, an artistic parade bringing together 500 to 600 people in costume, prepared with professional choreographers! The whole neighbourhood gets involved: residents, schools, associations, shopkeepers, etc. It’s also an opportunity for everyone in the city to discover this neighbourhood, which is still undergoing transformation and is set to become Europe’s first positive energy neighbourhood.
The Collectif Primavez will present its show Playground
at the Jours de Fête Festival in Dijon
on 9 May at 7pm.
Would you like to know more about Playground?
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.
