Les Art'dentes 2025: theater, circus and music around the corner

From June 27 to 29, 2025, the streets and parks of Kremlin-Bicêtre will be transformed into a huge open-air stage for the return of the Les Art'dentes festival. Designed as a local event, this not-to-be-missed artistic rendezvous is accessible, free and open to all. For three days, disciplines such as circus, dance, music and theater will come together to make the public space vibrate to the rhythm of contemporary creation.

This new edition will open with Signatures, an energetic piece combining hip-hop dance and circus, performed by ten young artists from the Académie Fratellini and the MazelFreten company. Performed on the Place Jean-Baptiste Clément, it will be followed by a participatory dance party to kick off the weekend in a festive atmosphere.

On Saturday, a succession of performances will take place in several of the city's parks. At 4 p.m., The World Was on Fire, choreographed by Nina Vallon, will take us on a visual journey between revolt and sisterhood. A little later, in Parc Pinel, Louise et Anne vont en Louisiane will invite young and old alike on a musical journey inspired by Cajun music. For fans of more offbeat forms, the Plan B show, programmed on the forecourt of the Hôtel de Ville, will revisit the detective story with puppets and typographical games.

Sunday's highlights include BAOUM! an explosive encounter between beatbox and acrobatics for ages 4 and up, Etrange.R, a duo of poetic portés by the Terre à Plumes company, and Jean-Pierre Le Berger, a zany retelling of classic tales. All this will be accompanied by convivial moments, such as a land art workshop, readings on the library truck or sweet breaks at the Bulle Gourmande in Parc Pinel.

Supported by the city and ECAM, Les Art'dentes aims to bring together cultures, neighborhoods and generations in a spirit of discovery and sharing. With no need for reservations or tickets, this festival simply invites you to get out and (re)discover the city in a different way, through shows and encounters.
