A live performance festival in the heart of Commercy

The Bords de Scène Festival, created and supported by Compagnie Mavra, has established itself as a major summer event in Commercy and the southern Meuse region. The event takes over the Prieuré de Breuil, a remarkable heritage site, and extends into the streets, squares, and unusual locations of the town and neighboring communes.

A week of creations and encounters

The festival spans an entire week, starting in late August, with a daily program that blends live performance disciplines:

Theater and stage creations

Invited companies present original theatrical creations, often linked to literature or current events. The 2025 edition notably featured "Nos optimistes", a play inspired by Maupassant's writings, and "Je n'ai pas de projet professionnel", a graphic novel concert mixing comics and live music.

Concerts and music

Music plays an important role in the program, with "concerts primeurs" (preview concerts) offered at the Commercy market and musical evenings in atypical venues like Aliénor's cottage in Lérouville ("Un soir au Cottage").

Kermesse en Terrasses and Guinguette du Breuil

Two highlights frame the festival: the Kermesse en Terrasses (Terrace Fair) which opens the festivities on Sunday with a festive and popular atmosphere, and the Guinguette du Breuil (Breuil Beer Garden) which closes the week on Friday in a rustic garden party atmosphere by the water.

Creatively used venues

One of Bords de Scène's signatures is its use of unusual and varied locations: the Prieuré de Breuil, of course, but also the Commercy market, private cottages, gardens, and public spaces. This decentralized and community-focused approach allows it to reach diverse audiences and create intimate and surprising performance moments.

Compagnie Mavra

It has been organizing the Bords de Scène festival since its inception, championing a vision of live performance that is rooted in the territory, accessible, and friendly.
