An enchanting evening of theatre, story, song and music. Pentreffest is a wonderland of stories, songs and music from Brittany, France and Sweden for all ages. Traditional tales and music where the hypnotic music and dance of Brittany is mixed with the depth and soul of Swedish polska and the energy and joy of the bourée from France.

The story, inspired by the famous work of Selma Lagerlöf, is a journey of initiation that is full of wonderful adventures.

For Eléonore and Martin, both musicians and actors full of passion, it’s a marvelous playground; they tell, sing, dance, play and draw us into their world, sparking astonishment, curiosity and laughter.

A show full of humor and poetry where we discover the richness of Scandinavian culture and where we leave enriched, enlightened and grinning from ear to ear!

Also featuring singer and storyteller Brigitte Kloareg from Brittany, the second half of the evening will be devoted to music from Brittany and Sweden from the groups Adébra and Mara. Traditional music where the hypnotic music and dance of Brittany is mixed with the depth and soul of Swedish polska and the energy and joy of the bourée from France.
