Gaia Banfi + Hélène Barbier, club concert, ONYX, Saint-Herblain

Théâtre ONYX

On Saturday 21 November 2026 at 20:00 the Club of the Théâtre ONYX in Saint-Herblain hosts a pop evening with two emerging artists, Gaia Banfi and Hélène Barbier. The listing describes Gaia Banfi, from Italy, as making electronic pop that moves between softness and musical tension, with a singular poetry sung in Italian. Hélène Barbier, from Canada, is presented as an artist who cultivates a free pop that is rooted in real life and very clever. The concert is part of the festival Les Femmes s'en mêlent, which aims to give women artists in contemporary music more visibility. Tickets cost from 5 to 15 euros, and the theatre takes bookings through its website, by email and by phone. The evening runs from 20:00 to 22:00. A club concert with two artists is easy to enjoy alone, since everyone in the room has come to discover the same new voices. «La pop électronique de Gaia Banfi évolue en zone de trouble. Entre douceur et tension musicale, elle déploie une poésie singulière chantée en italien.» Starts 20:00, ends about 22:00. Source: OpenAgenda — Théâtre ONYX (open data). The listing gives the price as 5 to 15 euros and the end time as 22:00.

Piafs !, clownesque theatre, at Théâtre ONYX, Saint-Herblain

Théâtre ONYX

On Sunday 20 December 2026 at 17:00 Théâtre ONYX in Saint-Herblain presents Piafs !, a clownesque theatre piece by the company Stiven Cigalle. The listing introduces Bernard Colvert, a clown who does not know he is one. He is a passionate ornithologist and fervent defender of the right of birds to exist, but also a champion of mishaps, misses and spills. He takes over the association Un oiseau pour ami, un oiseau pour la vie after the silly disappearance of its former president, and his determination to do well is matched only by his clumsiness. He must get through a real obstacle course to deliver his lecture to the end. The listing calls the show both funny and biting, and gives its running time as 52 minutes, ending at 17:52. The ticket price is 10 euros, with 5 euros for people under 25 and for the solidarity rate, and booking is through the theatre website. A short comic show like this is easy to enjoy alone, since the whole room laughs at the same moments. «Un spectacle drôle et grinçant à la fois.» Starts 17:00, ends about 17:52. Source: OpenAgenda — Théâtre ONYX (open data). The listing gives the price as 10 euros per ticket, 5 euros for under 25s and the solidarity rate, with a running time ending at 17:52.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
