In summer 2024, Les Tombées de la Nuit experimented with a new project of the metropolitan tour. There were four performances of Chloé Moglia’s Rouge Merveille, including two in mainland France, in Laillé and Le Rheu.
We’re continuing this project at the 2025 Les Tombées de la Nuit festival, with Galapiat Cirque and its show, Les maîtres du désordre.
In this frantic and athletic retrospective of his previous shows, artist Sébastien Wodjan, accompanied by musician Madeg Menguy, offers an intense and romantic take on the notions of tribal ceremony and reunions, focusing on the “absurd, crazy, unusual, poetic, punk, idiotic, nonsensical, sensitive, rotten, and chaotic”. Enjoy acrobatics, knife-throwing, balancing and juggling, underpinned by his uncanny ability to create encounters with the audience!
The show will travel from town to town by bike, starting in Pacé and finishing in Rennes, via Laillé, Le Rheu and Chartres-de-Bretagne, using cycle paths and towpaths. It’s a metropolitan tour using soft mobility as a prelude to the festival, arriving in Rennes to join the main event.

Born in Poland and raised in the Tarn region of France, Sébastien Wojdan discovered juggling at secondary school and went on to study circus and dance at the Balthazar school. Then at Epsedanse in Montpellier, at the Ecole Nationale des Arts du Cirque in Rosny-sous-Bois and finally at the Centre National des Arts du Cirque in Châlons-en-Champagne.
