All citizens are invited, and will be awaited by our Gracious Organizers during the 12th edition of État d’Urgence. There will something for everyone: street shows, performances, music, activities, even a workout. Participate in a variety of free, interactive and friendly activities open to all (street shows, group games, karaoke, and more), but be forewarned, our G.O.s will amuse themselves by twisting the meaning of things!

Meet the silly characters played by Toxique Trottoir and be a part of the experiences of our resident artists L’Orchestre des Hommes Orchestres (LODHO), who will concoct new interactive adventures in their Tintamarre Caravane!

Vallus et Gagnière - Votre Horaire

7 Thursday at 6:30 and 9 P.M., Friday to Sunday at 5:30 and 9 P.M.


Two very colourful, very “out there” female characters walk around, wrapped up in their overbooked, dictatorial, futile day planners, a reflection of the too-busy schedules that modern society often makes us slaves to.
