FESTA - Asnières Theatre Festival

FESTA: When Theatre Comes to Town

The FESTA - Asnières Theatre Festival is the flagship theatre event of Asnières-sur-Seine (92600), organized by the association TAC Teatro — Teatro a Chiamata, "theatre on demand" — in collaboration with the City of Asnières-sur-Seine and the City of Aubervilliers.

TAC Teatro is a theatre company and school with a triple mission: artistic production, educational projects, and social integration through theatre. This triple mission is at the heart of FESTA, a festival that blends professional and semi-professional performances, student work, experimental creations, and shows accessible to all audiences.

A Festival Rooted in its Territory

FESTA is not just a festival for spectators; it's also a festival for practitioners. TAC Teatro trains amateurs of all ages and backgrounds in theatre throughout the year, and FESTA is an opportunity to present the results of these workshops to the public. Revisited tales, engaged plays, fantasy worlds, comedies, and moments of poetry are on the program of a festival that celebrates the diversity of theatrical forms and human experiences.

Theatre, Integration, and Cultural Diversity

One of the distinctive features of TAC Teatro and FESTA is the focus on social and cultural integration. Theatre here is seen as a tool for expression, emancipation, and encounter for people from diverse backgrounds, languages, and experiences. The festival features performances in French, sometimes bilingual, reflecting the richness of the Asnières-sur-Seine community.

Original Creations and a Global Perspective

In addition to workshop productions, FESTA programs professional performances by the TAC Teatro company and guest artists. These creations address contemporary themes—civic engagement, memory, identity, humor, wonder—with a freedom of tone and formal inventiveness that define the festival's identity.

The 2025 Edition

FESTA 2025 took place from June 11 to 14, 2025 in Asnières-sur-Seine, in collaboration with Aubervilliers. For four days, the festival offered original performances, shows from TAC Teatro's annual workshops, and company creations, in a spirit of collective theatrical celebration. The festival is free and open to all.

The 2026 Edition

FESTA 2026 is scheduled for June 2026 in Asnières-sur-Seine. The festival returns for more days of performances, emotions, and theatrical discoveries, inviting the public to experience the results of a year of artistic and stage work by the students and artists of TAC Teatro. Reinvented tales, engaged plays, fantasy worlds, humor, and poetry are expected in the program.
