Contemporary Dance : Chiffonnade
A dance performance by the Carré Blanc company for very young audiences from 1 year old

A sphere contains a character and countless pieces of fabric which, in turn, become dancing partners and construction materials... building means growing up, managing to leave and go far away in order to return to our first element: water. Simple pieces of cloth create new worlds.

X-country Skiing Night Competition
Teams of two compete in the races. Each skier does one lap of the course before handing over the relay to their partner, and this is repeated several times.
