"Toumaï" means "Hope for life" in the Gorane language spoken in the central Sahara in reference to newborns during the season when survival is the most difficult. Thierry Smits’s new creation draws its inspiration from the darkest things humanity can have. Humor, tragedy and poetry are mixed to construct contrasting visions outlining a humanity to come in a situation of post bio-climatic collapse.

« Toumaï » signifie « Espoir de vie » dans la langue gorane parlée au Sahara central en référence aux nouveau-nés pendant la saison où la survie est la plus difficile. La nouvelle création de Thierry Smits puise son inspiration dans ce que l’humanité peut avoir de plus sombre. Humour, tragédie et poésie sont mixés pour construire de visions contrastées esquissant une humanité à venir en situation de post effondrement bio-climatique.

REQUIEM is an ephemeral ritual that harmonizes the bridge between life and death and unites that community in which one of its members has gone from existing physically to existing in memory.
In this NOCTURNE REQUIEM, the different parts of the original liturgy of a Requiem are replaced by scenes, songs and dances created from Bob Fosse's choreographic and personal universe, united by an in-disciplinary theatricality where movement, word, music and video dance together in a choreography for 10 performers and 2 live musicians. A ritualistic experience between legacy and parody, between humor and tenderness, to reflect on the beauty of death and transform the act of dying into a cabaret full of camp and glitter.
This show is divided into three main acts as a symbol of the three big parts that any creative process has when producing stage work: audition, creation and exhibition. The story of inherent disappearance in any act of creation.



REQUIEM est le premier mot qui apparaît dans une messe pro defunctis ou defunctorum, c'est-à-dire une messe pour les morts. Un rituel éphémère qui harmonise le pont entre la vie et la mort et unit cette communauté dans laquelle l'un de ses membres est passé de son existence physique à  la mémoire de son existence.
Dans ce NOCTURNE REQUIEM, les différentes parties de la liturgie originale d'un Requiem sont remplacées par des scènes, des chants et des danses créés à partir de l'univers chorégraphique et personnel de Bob Fosse, unis par une théâtralité interdisciplinaire où mouvement, parole, musique et vidéo dansent ensemble en une chorégraphie pour 10 interprètes et 2 musiciens live. Une expérience rituelle entre héritage et parodie, entre humour et tendresse, pour réfléchir à la beauté de la mort et transformer l'acte de mourir en un cabaret plein de camp et de paillettes.
Bob Fosse a réalisé ALL THAT JAZZ en 1979, comme une sorte de portrait semi-autobiographique sur sa vie de drogué, de sexe et surtout de travail, dans les derniers instants avant de mourir. Prenant ce film comme principale référence, mais aussi de nombreuses autres danses cinématographiques de Bob Fosse, le spectacle est divisé en trois actes principaux en tant que symbole des trois grandes parties que tout processus créatif comporte lors de la production d'une œuvre scénique: audition, création et exposition. . L'histoire de la disparition inhérente à tout acte de création.

At the Mercat de les Flors, we are presenting three very different pieces that have been produced in recent months.
The film Jungle is the latest creation by the group BIG BOUNCERS and it forms part of a project aimed at children from 2 to 5 years old that we have supported since its inception in its stage version and during a research process carried out with the cooperation of the nursery schools with which the Mercat de les Flors works.

Cossoc is a new show within the new line of support for audiovisual dance provided by the Mercat de les Flors.

The third piece, Brots transhumants, is an inspirational project led by three creators in cooperation with Fira Mediterrània de Manresa, a regional festival with which we are building a rapport and which we want to include and make visible in our programming.

Jungla will be available from 9 am until 11.30 pm CET. Cossoc & Brots transhumants will be available on from 4 until 11.30 pm CET.

This event is by invitations only | Today, cultural exchanges and mobility have suffered a severe halt due to the global pandemic caused by Covid-19. Showing great adaptability, the cultural sector has transferred online many activities initially scheduled face-to-face: multiple meetings, conferences, events, artistic presentations, exhibitions and performances have taken place all over the world despite the distance. physical.

Thus, the imposed physical immobility has densified the flow of digital exchanges in real time, and has profoundly transformed the issues and practices of the international mobility of artists and professionals in the sector.


Événement sur invitation uniquement | Aujourd’hui, les échanges et la mobilité culturels ont subi un violent coup d’arrêt du fait de la pandémie mondiale due à la Covid-19. Faisant preuve d’une grande adaptabilité, le secteur culturel a transféré en ligne de nombreuses activités initialement programmées en présentiel : de multiples réunions, conférences, événements, présentations artistiques, expositions et performances ont ainsi pu avoir lieu aux quatre coins du globe malgré la distance physique. 

Ainsi, l’immobilité physique imposée est venue densifier les flux d’échanges numériques en temps réel, et a profondément transformé les enjeux et les pratiques de la mobilité internationale des artistes et des professionnels du secteur
