CAP Danse
A Festival in Southern Finistère
2026
About CAP Danse
CAP Danse brings contemporary dance to nine towns across the Concarneau Cornouaille Agglomération in Finistère. Organised by the association Danse à tous les étages, the festival pairs each town with one or more events—including performances, workshops, film screenings, artist talks, and dance parties—held in municipal halls, museums, libraries, or outdoor spaces.
CAP Danse — edition 2026
The fifth edition of CAP Danse takes place from September 18th to 27th, 2026, across the nine municipalities of the Concarneau Cornouaille Agglomération. The festival features works by Christian Rizzo, Angelin Preljocaj, Leïla Ka, Betty Tchomanga, and Ola Maciejewska, alongside dances, workshops, and artist meet-and-greets. Traditional dances from the Basque Country and the Maghreb share the stage with historical figures of the genre, from Loïe Fuller to contemporary creations.
