17th edition — July 1st to 5th, 2026
The 17th edition of Un Festival à Villeréal takes place from July 1st to 5th, 2026. Under the artistic direction of Laurette Tessier and Nicolas Candoni, the collective Vous êtes Ici continues its work of theatrical creation in the heart of the village of Villeréal, faithful to its two founding principles: to be a creation festival and to prioritize non-commercial aspects.
Around thirty professional artists take over everyday places — gardens, barns, houses, courtyards, and unusual spots in the bastide — to present original creations written on stage, based on a text or a theme and a period of exploration of the village with the complicity of its inhabitants. The program mixes theatre, dance, concerts, conferences, and readings.
Festival-goers will find the ticket office under the arcades of the Place de la Halle, with the ritual of discovering the performance venue twenty minutes before each show. The detailed day-by-day program will be announced in June 2026 on the official website of the collective Vous êtes Ici.
