Théâtre sur l'Herbe

17th Edition — The Grand Return

After a five-year hiatus — the last edition was in 2017, followed by interruptions due to the Covid-19 pandemic — the Théâtre sur l'Herbe festival made its grand return from June 24 to 26, 2022. Patrice Douchet, artistic director of Théâtre de la Tête Noire, emphasized that this highly anticipated festival "draws a wide audience" and provides both the public and artists "the opportunity and pleasure of reconnecting.".

This 17th edition placed the environment at the heart of its concerns, integrating an eco-responsible charter from the stage to catering. The festival encouraged reflection on the place of art in nature while offering a festive and accessible program for everyone.

Outdoor and tent performances, circus, itinerant theater, dance, music, puppetry, fire shows, and participatory experiences punctuated three days of festivities in the green park of the Château de l'Étang.
