Les Irrésistibles

Les Irrésistibles: Circus and Street Arts Take Over Montreuil

Since 2023, the Les Irrésistibles festival has been making the streets of Montreuil-sur-Mer vibrate to the rhythm of circus, street theater, and performing arts. Organized by the association Cirq'O Vent, this young festival has quickly found its audience thanks to its bold programming, warm atmosphere, and completely free access.

A Rich and Varied Program

The festival offers an eclectic program that celebrates the diversity of street arts:

• Contemporary Circus: Acrobatics, juggling, trapeze, tightrope walking, and other circus disciplines presented by professional companies.
• Street Theater: Outdoor shows, parades, and performances that take over the streets and squares.
• Dance: Choreographic performances in public spaces.
• Music: Open-air concerts and musical performances.
• Unusual Performances: Unclassifiable shows that surprise and amaze.

The Irrésistibles Workshop

Friday evening is dedicated to circus and the presentation of projects from The Irrésistibles Workshop, a workspace and research area where artists develop their creations. Saturday is dedicated to continuous entertainment and shows in the afternoon, culminating in a grand participatory parade through the town's streets.

The City as a Stage

The Place du Général de Gaulle and the Citadel of Montreuil-sur-Mer serve as a natural backdrop for the performances. Artists share their talent and energy in these historic locations, creating a unique encounter between heritage and contemporary creation.

A Free and Participatory Festival

Access to all shows is free, making Les Irrésistibles an event open to everyone, families, the curious, and performing arts enthusiasts. The grand participatory parade even invites the public to become active participants in the celebration, in a spirit of sharing and conviviality dear to the Cirq'O Vent association.
