Tout le Monde Dehors !, live art in the open air in Lentillères

Tout le Monde Dehors ! is a multidisciplinary festival that takes place every summer in Lentillères, a small village in the south of Ardèche, between Largentière and Aubenas. This unique artistic event combines performances, dance, poetry, music, and participatory workshops in a natural and intimate setting.

Performances between dance and poetry

The festival offers a demanding and sensitive program where contemporary dance dialogues with sound poetry and performance art. The 2022 edition notably hosted Bande à Part for a dance performance, Sydney Cadot-Sambosi and Myriam O.H for poetic performances, and the Collectif BoXoN. The performances by Trip for Léon and Mechampot provided the musical part.

Participatory workshops for everyone

Beyond the shows, Tout le Monde Dehors ! offers workshops open to all: danced experiences, poetic walks, writing workshops like “Réveille le Poète” led by Myriam O.H, and “Zones Libres” combining dance and poetry. These participatory moments invite each visitor to become an actor in the artistic experience.

A festival rooted in the Ardèche landscape

Lentillères, nestled in the hills of southern Ardèche near Largentière, offers an ideal rural setting for this open-air festival. Performances take place in the natural spaces and village locations, creating a dialogue between art and the landscape. The event contributes to the cultural animation of the Val de Ligne community of communes.

A summer event in Ardèche

The festival traditionally takes place in August, over two days, with a program that starts in the late afternoon and continues into the evening. The atmosphere is that of a village festival, warm and accessible, where contemporary creation meets rural conviviality.
