12h30 à 13h30 > Reception hosted by SACD – “Auteurs d’Espaces” Program
A unique initiative dedicated to street arts
Meet the supported teams
In partnership with key festivals from the street arts repertoire, the “Auteurs d’Espaces” program created by SACD presents and supports a selection of author-driven street arts performances — textual or non-textual, stationary or roaming — highlighting this distinct form of writing, different from traditional street theater.
“Auteurs d’Espaces” also encourages street performances to open up to the entire live performance spectrum and artists from diverse backgrounds, showcasing the richness of connections between art forms.
Through this collaboration with renowned festivals, “Auteurs d’Espaces” perfectly aligns with SACD’s cultural mission: to support the creation and dissemination of works by authors across all its repertoires.
Two winning projects selected in 2025 at the Aurillac International Street Theater Festival have been supported:
Friterie mon ami·e Bonjour Désordre
En attendant la Vague Espèces d’Espaces

10:00 am to 11:30 am> ÉCLAT – FOCUS BRAZIL – Dissident Bodies and Contemporary Creation in Brazil
In Brazil, political movements led by Black, trans, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+ people, and those with disabilities are shaking up the artistic scene by bringing dissident voices and bodies to the forefront. By presenting new narratives, subjectivities, and languages, they transform art into a space of struggle, celebration, and healing.
Despite political brutality and economic hardship, this artistic presence challenges society as a whole: its exclusions, norms, and resistances.
Theater becomes a place of emancipation and radical reinvention, but also a space marked by tensions — between institutional inclusion and de/colonial confrontations.
How can one create without being assigned a fixed identity? How can one move freely without being reduced to a single subject?
These are some of the questions shaping these new scenes — which, from Brazil, resonate powerfully in Aurillac.
Roundtable moderated by Élise Havard dit Duclos, with Brazilian artists invited as part of the France-Brazil Season 2025.

2:30 pm to 4:00 pm > Screening of “L’aventure scandaleuse” by Cie Cacahuète, followed by a discussion session.
And here comes Cie Cacahuète, coming together for a new creation. The old street provocateurs attempt an uncertain comeback in these times of moralizing and restrictions on freedom of expression.
Will they be able to shake up the established order again, to cause a scandal at every appearance like in the good old days?
See the proof in this documentary made by the brilliant Bruno Le Jean.
