Bagnoles-de-l'Orne
Summer Fridays Festival - 25th edition - "Que Bardo" is a show that gives a poetic vision of chaos, a myriad of unforeseen actions in search of a fantastical feast that never ends. A writer and the characters from his work create a world of humour and imagination that surprises and disorients the audience, between acrobatics and object manipulation. A dynamic, magical and attractive show for the whole family.
A generous show, where circus prowess and acting intertwine with fluidity, a singular, poetic and joyful universe that takes us on a journey and is suitable for the whole family.
21:00 - 21:45. All audiences. Free Entry.
