Les Malins Plaisirs

Les Malins Plaisirs: A Creation Festival in the Heart of Montreuillois

Every summer, the festival Les Malins Plaisirs transforms Montreuil-sur-Mer and the surrounding villages into a vast theatrical playground. This unique creation festival brings together professional artists who gather in residence to create new shows, specifically designed for the heritage sites that host them.

Tailor-Made Creations

The originality of Les Malins Plaisirs lies in its on-site creation approach. Each show is designed for a specific location: the charming little theater of Montreuil, the magnificent Acary manor of La Rivière, a farmyard, a village square, a hollow path. Artists immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the places to create works that resonate with their history and architecture.

An Eclectic Program

The festival offers a varied program that blends:

• Theater Plays: Revisited classics and contemporary creations, performed by talented actors.
• Music and Songs: Intimate concerts and recitals in exceptional venues.
• Street Performances: Performances and entertainment in streets and squares.
• Rambling Walks: The famous Muses Buissonnières invite the public to follow the artists through the most beautiful villages of the Montreuillois, where shows are performed outdoors.

The School of Taste

Since 2025, the festival has offered L'École du Goût (The School of Taste), moments of conviviality and sharing between the public and artists. Through meetings, discussions, and tastings, these events allow for extending the artistic experience in a relaxed and warm atmosphere.

A Spirit of Troupe and Sharing

Les Malins Plaisirs cultivates a spirit of troupe where camaraderie among artists and proximity to the audience are essential. The festival is conceived as a moment of sharing and discovery, where theater leaves the halls to meet residents and visitors in an exceptional setting.
