About Les Renc'Arts
Street Arts in the Dinan Agglomeration
Les Renc'Arts is a street arts festival that takes place every year during the third week of July, organized by the Théâtre en Rance association. For five days, sixteen companies of street theatre, circus, music, and dance take over the public spaces of the Dinan agglomeration.
A Two-Part Festival
The festival unfolds in two stages: on Mondays and Tuesdays, the companies tour twelve towns in the agglomeration of Dinan, bringing performances closer to the residents of the small and medium-sized towns in the area. On Thursdays and Fridays, the festival focuses on the city of Dinan, taking over the gardens of Léhon Abbey, the library esplanade, and the squares and alleys of the historic center.
A Free and Family-Friendly Event
All Les Renc'Arts performances are free and accessible to everyone. The festival is aimed at a wide audience, from families to performing arts enthusiasts. Street theatre, circus, music, acrobatics, and parades surprise passers-by and create moments of sharing and conviviality in public spaces.
