Colombian cumbia circle dance, university centre, Foix

Centre Universitaire de l'Ariège

On Thursday 19 November the university centre of the Ariège in Foix hosts a rueda de cumbia as part of the tenth Locombia festival, which brings Colombian culture to small French towns. The rueda is a traditional collective dance from the Caribbean coast of Colombia: dancers move in a circle around the musicians, to the beat of drums, gaita flutes and maracas. The group El León Pardo plays together with Los Gaiteros de Punta Icaco. The listing describes it as a place of meeting and passing on knowledge where everyone is invited to step into the dance, and compares the repeated drum rhythms to a shared trance. Entry is free and no booking is mentioned. The listing is in French. It starts at 18:30 and ends at 20:00, so you can join a circle with strangers and leave without any commitment. «Rueda de Cumbia avec El León Pardo y los Gaiteros de Punta Icaco» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

à l'Estive, scène nationale de Foix et de l'Ariège

On Thursday 25 February 2027 the Estive in Foix presents Bienvenue aux lendemains by the company Pourquoi, le chat ?, a dance piece. The listing recalls that in Vivantes, shown there in 2024, the choreographer Camille Cau invited the audience to meet in the heart of the forest. This time it is the forest that comes onto the stage.

The minimum age is 12, and the show lasts about an hour. The tickets belong to the yellow tariff, from 7 to 21 euros, and the lowest price is used here. The box-office phone number and email are on the listing. A short dance show in a regional theatre is an easy evening to attend alone, and the sensory style gives you something to talk about afterwards. «Bienvenue aux lendemains · Cie Pourquoi, le chat ?» Starts 20:30, ends about 21:30.

Talk on living soil and composting, Estive theatre, Foix

à l'Estive, scène nationale de Foix et de l'Ariège

On Thursday 25 March the Estive national stage in Foix hosts a free talk called Vivez le sol, given by Lydia and Claude Bourguignon, soil biologists and founders of the soil microbiology analysis laboratory LAMS. It is part of the Tous au compost programme. The speakers share a conviction built over more than thirty years in the field: a living soil is a garden that feeds itself, and garden earth is not just earth but a whole ecosystem of micro-organisms, fungi, worms and insects that turn organic matter into food for plants. They explain why compost is more than an ecological gesture, and promise practical tips that anyone can use at home. The talk is lively and open to all, in French, with free entry. It starts at 18:00 and lasts about an hour, and suits gardeners and the simply curious alike. «Conférence "Vivez le sol !" - Lydie et Claude Bourguignon» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:00.
