38th edition: theatre, music, and encounters in the heart of Pilat
From August 19 to 23, 2025, the old Virieu district in Pélussin hosted the 38th edition of Les Bravos de la Nuit. True to its commitment to emerging contemporary theatre, the festival offered five days of shows, concerts, and entertainment in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Engaging and inventive evening shows
The invited companies presented powerful contemporary creations: 'Buffet gratuit', 'Qu'importe le dépéçage', 'J'essaie de tuer personne', and 'Petit éloge de la gêne'. Each company benefited from a week of residency in Pélussin before the festival to work on their shows in the actual performance venues.
Three evenings of concerts on the Place du Fossé
On August 20, 21, and 22, the Place du Fossé vibrated to the rhythm of three free concerts: the gypsy music of Yeni Gayda, the songs to live by by Auren, and the journey through revisited songs by Zumin.
A varied children's program
During the day, the youngest and their families enjoyed puppet shows like 'La Vie Taupe Secrète' and 'Chez moi', the show 'Alma la femme animale', and a storyteller who sowed seeds of dreams among the audience.
Closing Grand Ball
The festival concluded on Saturday, August 23, with the traditional Grand Ball, bringing together festival-goers, volunteers, and locals for a final festive evening.
