Estival des Hallebardiers

2025 Edition: "The Future!"

The 2025 edition of the Estival des Hallebardiers plunged spectators into a post-apocalyptic future in 2284, after destructive climate events and a massive nuclear accident. Three surviving castes fought over the meager resources of a devastated world.

The three shows

• The Manciennes: a matriarchal society honoring Jeanne Mance, an illustrious figure from Langres, whose members have a third eye in the middle of their forehead offering vision and clairvoyance.
• The Cryo-cortexés: three scientists watch over cryogenized individuals stored in Texan vats. After violent climate-related tremors, the frozen capsules end up in Langres, and one day the cryogenized individuals wake up in a hostile world.
• The Cyborgs: a third caste fighting for survival in this devastated world.

The performances took place on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays evenings from July 31 to August 23, 2025, with departure at 9 PM from the courtyard of Collège Diderot. This edition attracted 5,200 spectators.
