With VoyageVoyage, we travel this time to our friends at the Théâtre du Jura – for a spectacular evening between contemporary urban dance and concert.
The hyperpop artist Hervé meets the dance company MazelFreten – together they create a captivating stage work between music, club aesthetics and contemporary dance. Seven performers share the stage with the singer and embody his songs. The result is an energetic performance in which music and movement intertwine and celebrate the freedom of movement.
With three albums, Hervé has established himself on the French music scene and is known for a style between electropop and chanson. MazelFreten is a French dance collective around Laura Defretin and Brandon Masele, combining hip-hop and club culture into highly energetic stage works and gaining international recognition, including through the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Under the label VoyageVoyage, we regularly offer bus trips to our partner theatres in France – theatre ticket and bus ride are included in a single price.
“Never have I experienced an audience (and been part of it!) that was so on fire. The sheer joy of being together, of moving together, of experiencing it together. A joyful gathering to banish the demons that try to divide the world – when, as someone once said, we are ultimately sentimental crowds. Sneakers ready and let’s dance!” - D. Maillefer (Artistic Director of the Théâtre du Jura)
