As part of their festival, Les Tombées de la Nuit extend the metropolitan tour launched in 2024 with Newroz, a solo work of circus theatre exploring otherness and difference. Seven performances across five municipalities in the area, as a prelude to — and then at the heart of — the festival.
Newroz means new day in Kurdish. To the sound of the oud, Bahoz Temaux invites us to an evening of circus storytelling, taking the time to tell a story — his story. Every life is different. Every individual is different. Through a series of anecdotes, from childhood to adulthood and fatherhood, Bahoz Temaux recounts the everyday life of a man of colour confronted with everyday racism.
Part acrobatic and musical stand-up, Newroz reveals carefully chosen slices of life in which human absurdity sometimes gives way to hasty judgement. Bringing together music, circus and a generous dose of humour, with simplicity and without bitterness, Newroz takes on the immense task of fostering tolerance.
In partnership with the City of Pacé – MJC, the Agora Cultural Centre in Le Rheu, the Pôle Sud Cultural Centre in Chartres-de-Bretagne, and the City of Laillé.
