On Saturday October 4 and Sunday October 5, 2025, theAcadémie Fratellini invites you to a major free event to celebrate its reopening after three years of renovation. At the gateway to Paris, the completely redesigned site has become a vast artistic playground where big tops, studios and outdoor spaces host shows, strolls and concerts. Designed for the general public, this promising weekend is as much for families looking for free outings with children as it is for fans of contemporary circus and live performance.
On Saturday, the afternoon kicks off with a grand acrobatic performance, followed by an artistic tour of the site and two shows under the big top, before ending with a DJ set and an introduction to electro dance. On Sunday, youngsters will discover La Fabuleuse Histoire de BasarKus (The Fabulous Story of BasarKus), a show accessible to children aged 3 and over, while families will be carried away by brass bands and improvised acts before a grand finale.
