10th Festival Contes des 5 Continents - 2026 Edition
The 10th edition of the Contes des 5 Continents festival took place from February 18 to 28, 2026, at the Petit Théâtre Hind Rajab (formerly Petit Théâtre Jean Macé) in Laval. For this anniversary edition marking a decade of shared stories, the festival offered a rich and poetic program, true to its mission of taking spectators on a journey through stories from around the world.
As every year, five professional companies took turns on the stage of the small theater to offer three shows for all audiences per day, at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 6 p.m. Families from Laval and the Mayenne region were able to discover tales from the five continents, blending ancient oral traditions and contemporary creations, in the intimate and warm atmosphere that is the hallmark of this festival.
The renaming of the venue to Petit Théâtre Hind Rajab symbolically marked this tenth edition, reaffirming the humanist commitment of the Théâtre du Tiroir and its desire to promote values of peace and fraternity through the art of storytelling.
