A reuse box customisation workshop inspired by the marine world, for all audiences aged 6 and over.

Their workshop, structured around different moments of introduction and musical practice, is dedicated to Guadeloupean dance through the Toumblack, one of the major rhythms of the Gwo-ka repertoire. Highly popular, the Toumblack is today one of the most widely practiced rhythms and one of the most immediately accessible to audiences. Marked by its energy and its unifying power, it naturally invites dancing and exchange between the drummers (tambouyé), singers, and dancers. Its vitality and festive spirit make it a true gateway to discovering the Gwo-ka.

Youth is a time of big questions, of grand – and sometimes conflicting – desires, a storm of intense, raw and sincere emotions. An age that passes… without ever truly leaving. Théâtre on Demand is a unique experience every single time!

This one-hour concert celebrates the rhythms, songs and dances of Guadeloupe and Haiti. The first part is devoted to Guadeloupe and the Gwo-ka tradition, featuring rhythms such as the Léwoz, Toumblak, Mendé, Graj and Mass à Saint-Jean. On stage: René Burin on the boula drum, Roger Raspail on the makè drum, Annette Nicolas on vocals and chacha, and singer Gildas Lutin, with her powerful yet gentle voice. The audience is invited to parade and dance. The second part is dedicated to Haiti, with the Yanvalou, Rabordaille, Rara and Petro. Master drummer Kébyésou performs the great classics of Haitian Vodou, while dancer Nerlande Bazelais draws the audience into her spellbinding dances, so everyone can share in the energy of this tradition.

As a heir to the Mandinka griot tradition, Kimi Djabaté places the balafon at the heart of his music, alongside the kora, guitar, percussion, and vocals. Based in Portugal, he weaves West African traditions together with jazz, blues, fado, and bossa nova, creating a soundscape that is both deeply rooted and resolutely contemporary. Sung in Mandinka, Creole, and Portuguese, his songs carry a message of social commitment: the defense of women’s rights, a call for peace, and a celebration of tolerance and intercultural dialogue. <span>Concert curated by Alain Weber. </span>
