With the children… Sunday at 5 p.m., Clément Le Magicien presents Zygomatic at the rural home of St-Christophe-sur-le-Nais, a show where nothing happens as planned by the character. The magic wands jump in the air, are not the right size, break, his pedestal table goes out of control, his radio explodes and turns into a disco/rock jukebox… It’s an outing for all audiences for €7 on site and €6 in pre-sale on the Culture O Pré association website.

In Joué-lès-Tours, the Espace Malraux presents Under the grass by the company De-ci-De-là, “a visual and sound landscape full of poetry” we are told. A quartet, performing on a white dance floor, is at the center of the audience. Sound, earth, dance and speech make traces, stories in movements, in images, and fill this empty space with poetic resonances. Places between €4.50 and €12. It’s Sunday at 4 p.m.
Movie theater… The city of Saint-Avertin participates in the Day to Combat Violence Against Women with the screening of the film To the hilt directed by Xavier Legrand with Léa Drucker and Denis Ménochet.
