For its 4th edition, Confit! is growing in scope.
The festival now runs throughout the entire month of May, making the most of public holidays to extend its artistic programme well beyond Cavaillon.
Nomadic by nature, Confit! takes over villages, estates, farms and landscapes across the Luberon, from the Monts de Vaucluse to the Alpilles. The festival supports emerging projects, premières, new creations and residency outcomes, working in close collaboration with its partner artists.
Theatre, music, cinema and cuisine come together to create warm and sensory experiences. Shared banquets, pairings of food and images, intimate stories, political gestures and dialogues with the living world, both human and non human.
Driven largely by female voices, Confit! pays particular attention to hospitality, the pleasure of being together and contemporary reflections on how we inhabit the world, how we nourish ourselves and how we imagine desirable futures.
From 4 to 7 May. NOMADE(S)
theatre, music / Claire Barrabès. Collectif sur le pont
Blending theatre, music and tasting, Un verre à soi offers a sensitive and offbeat experience. Alone on stage, a female pianist welcomes the audience into a wine ritual that gradually shifts. Beneath the apparent elegance, conventions begin to crack, speech is released and the music grows in intensity.
Through a subtle interplay of sharp humour, personal confessions and live piano, the performance questions the norms of the wine world, femininity and our relationship to work, while inviting sharing and empathy. A bold performance, suitable from the age of 15, refined yet unsettling, leaving a lasting impression, like a great vintage one never forgets.
From the age of 15. Duration: 1 hour. Prices: 3 € to 10 €, booking required lagarance.com
On tour in partner villages:

At the intersection of theatre, cooking and cinema, Matcha Girl offers an intimate and sensory tea ceremony. On stage, the preparation of matcha becomes a delicate ritual, a space of memory and transmission, where the bond between a daughter and her father is woven.
Through projected images, precise gestures, sounds and shared tasting, the performance explores grief, lineage and the softness of memories. Carried by an immersive and poetic staging, this experience blends emotions, flavours and images, inviting the audience into a suspended moment, suitable from the age of 12, both deeply personal and universal.

Without artifice, the time of the performance follows that of the landscape, its gestures and its silences. The piece questions how we inhabit the world, how we relate to others and how we share a common space. A sensitive and contemplative experience, suitable from the age of 12, inviting us to slow down and to look differently at the living world around us.
