Playground at the Saison estivale des monts aux marais 2025

Playground. A chinese pole show with acrobatics, theater, dance, and absurd humor. Miguel Rubio flying on the chinese pole

Launched in 2022 by five municipalities (Doville, La Haye, Montsenelle, Saint-Nicolas-de-Pierrepont and Varenguebec), the regional cultural project, supported by the Normandy Region, the Drac (Regional Directorate for Cultural Affairs) and the Manche Department, is attracting interest from other municipalities. Périers joined in 2023, and this month, the elected representatives of Pirou and Marchésieux signed the agreement.

The aim of this project is to build an inclusive culture over the coming months, with, for and by the inhabitants of the region, by revealing our rich heritage and natural resources, which are the guarantors of a strong identity. This regional policy is divided into two phases: Carnavaaal, a participatory creation, and the summer season Des Monts aux marais, a multidisciplinary programme and artist residencies in the eight municipalities.

In 2025, the summer programme will be based on two residencies and seven artistic and cultural events.

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.
