2025 Edition — 30 Years of Les Expressifs
For its 30th edition, the Les Expressifs festival offered three days of exceptional festivities in the streets of downtown Poitiers, from October 2 to 4, 2025. The collective Le Gang des déesses, composed of six female artists including Poitiers native Hélène Vieilletoile, animated the festival's highlights.
Among the notable shows, the company Les Batteurs de pavés staged a participatory adaptation of Victor Hugo's *Les Misérables*, inviting spectators to take the stage. The festival also hosted a professional day dedicated to street and public space arts in partnership with the Grand'Rue federation and the Swiss CCHAR.
A collaborative urban collage titled "Manifestez-vous" allowed residents to contribute drawings and slogans, assembled by artist Dirty Lolove and students from the École européenne supérieure de l'image.
