About Erquy en Scène
Erquy en Scène — edition 2026
Erquy en Scène kicks off its 2026-2027 season on Saturday, September 5th, 2026, at 6:00 PM at L'Ancre des Mots, with a free public presentation featuring the pop-rock band Divine Lemon. Ten events will follow between October 2026 and May 2027: seven professional shows — Tout ce que vous voulez, Terreur, Contre-temps, Et si c'était elle, L'Affaire Buckingham, À pile ou face, and Rose Royal —, a role-playing Murder Party at Roz Armor, and the 20th Short Amateur Theater Festival, which closes the season in May 2027. The lineup includes musicals, plays, thrillers, a fictional trial, and dance-theater, with tickets ranging from 7 € to 25 € depending on the event.
Ten events from October 2026 to May 2027
The 2026-2027 Erquy en Scène season features ten dates running from October 2026 to May 2027 at L'Ancre des Mots, the municipal theater located at Square de l'Hôtel de Ville, right next to the Erquy town hall. The association will unveil the full calendar during a free public presentation on Saturday, September 5th, 2026, at 6:00 PM, featuring the pop-rock band Divine Lemon. The program consists of seven professional shows, a Murder Party, and the Amateur Theater Festival.
Seven professional shows, from fictional trials to musicals
The volunteer team has selected seven titles for the season: Tout ce que vous voulez, Terreur, Contre-temps, Et si c'était elle, L'Affaire Buckingham, À pile ou face, and Rose Royal. Several are comedies, some musical; these are joined by a thriller and a fictional trial where the audience acts as the jury. À pile ou face is a dance-theater piece scheduled for Saturday, April 17th, 2027, which is the only date currently open for online booking. The first six titles are priced at 20 € for full price and 17 € for reduced price, while Rose Royal is 25 € and 22 €.
A Murder Party at Roz Armor
For role-playing game enthusiasts, the association is bringing back a Murder Party, this time hosted at Roz Armor instead of L'Ancre des Mots. Participation is 10 € per player; this event is not included in the season subscription.
The 20th Amateur Theater Festival as a grand finale
In May 2027, the Short Amateur Theater Festival celebrates its twentieth edition to close the season. It takes place over two days, costing 7 € for a single day or 10 € for a two-day pass. It remains the only event of the year where the traditional post-show drink is not shared.
L'Ancre des Mots and the traditional post-show drink
All season performances are held at L'Ancre des Mots, Square de l'Hôtel de Ville in Erquy. The lobby opens half an hour before the show starts, and seating is unassigned. After each performance, excluding the Amateur Theater Festival, the audience and artists gather for a friendly drink — a signature tradition of Erquy en Scène since the association was founded in 2004.

A season driven by volunteers since 2004
Founded in 2004, the Erquy en Scène association is dedicated to promoting live performance in Erquy. In partnership with the local municipality and the intercommunal authority, which provide funding and access to the Ancre des Mots theater, the association presents seven to eight shows or festivals annually between October and May. The volunteer team handles every aspect of the season: selecting performances, managing communications, coordinating ticket sales at the Erquy Tourist Office, welcoming actors and technical crews, and managing the venue on performance nights.
A program scouted at Avignon, Barjac, and the Molières
The program is curated collectively, based on insights from the Festival d'Avignon, the Barjac festival, and the Molières ceremony. The stage hosts a variety of theater, music, song, dance, and comedy, often including musicals, thrillers, or fictional courtroom dramas. A Murder Party role-playing event and the Amateur Theater Festival, which concludes the season in May, round out the professional programming each year.
L'Ancre des Mots, Erquy's cultural hub
L'Ancre des Mots is Erquy's municipal performance hall, located at the square de l'Hôtel de Ville, right next to the town hall. The lobby opens thirty minutes before the show begins, and seating is unassigned. Following each performance—with the exception of the Amateur Theater Festival—spectators are invited to meet the artists for a friendly drink, a signature tradition that defines the Erquy en Scène experience.
