22:30 Cosmopoly


Cosmopoly est un duo composé de Bryan Bird aux guitares, à la basse et à la voix et d’Ellwen Barbault au chant et aux percussions. Avec leurs loopers et leurs influences très variées ( danses traditionnelles de Bretagne, de France et d’Europe, rock psychédélique, chant traditionnel de la Réunion, chansons françaises ou encore jazz et blues vocal) iels proposent un bal teinté de chansons engagées reprises et composées. Distillé d’humour, leur bal invite au voyage à travers des cultures, des temps et des codes savamment questionnés et offrent un mélange agréable tant pour les oreilles que pour les pieds.

FAQ

Can I come without a dance partner?
Yes, please feel welcome to do so.
I have never danced (folk) before, what now?
Coming for the first time can be a bit outside of your comfort zone but be assured, no one will judge you on your dancing skills.
There will be an introduction class of 1 hour at 19:00, there we'll explain some common dances (hanter-dro, andro, scottisch, jig, bourré 2 times).
Folk dancing is relatively accessible to dance to and don't hesitate to ask some explanation more experienced dancers will be more than happy to show you some steps.
Also, you don't have to dance all night, enjoying the music and watching others dancing can also be delightful.
