Icare Folies 2025 artists and troupes
Thursday 18 & Friday 19 sept. – St Hilaire
Batucada from our village schools
Musical strolls
All year round, they rehearse as part of the school curriculum. During the Coupe Icare, children from St Hilaire elementary school present their Batucada, accompanied by Christine Fradin.
A great moment for our little mountain dwellers (and their parents), who kick off the end of the day at the Coupe Icare with music.
Les Filles de l’Eire
Irish music, Gaelic songs, sea shanties, songs and music from every known Celtic country.
Don’t know Les Filles de l’Eire yet?
It’s only natural: freshly arrived on our doorstep, these 3 peerless navigators will take us on a musical voyage to Celtic lands!
With Les filles de l’Eire, there’ll be no sea of oil, just 10-meter troughs, waves of emotion, and a roll that’ll make your head spin, so you’ll want to dance and clap your hands… 3 voices, a violin, a guitar and a bodhran that will make even the most recalcitrant sailor capsize!
Les filles de l’Eire, a famous trio that holds the wave and holds the wind! Hoist high!
Line up: Julie Facy (Bodhran vocals), Marianne Girard (Guitar vocals), Violaine Soulier (Violin vocals)

L’Accorde Bretelles
Guitar/Saxophone trio, Cajon and vocals.
A musical stroll (on stage) through the sensations with original compositions. A lively show that will take you through all the colours of the emotional rainbow.
Because music is something to be played and shared, L’Accorde Bretelles come and play with the audience. Their recipe? A bit of staging, a bit of cabaret or music hall with a touch of blues, a touch of jazz, a touch of gypsy and madness and above all a lot of sunshine and good humour! In short, live entertainment.
Line-up: Hervé Vocals – The Story Teller, Olivier Cajon – The Beating Heart, Sylvain Guitar & Saxophone – Fingertips or Lips!
Compost Collaps
TechLow Music
A drum, some pipes, bits of metal, sweat… and it dances. Compost Collaps builds and plays the music of the next century.
It’s a concrete projection of a desirable and sustainable future, in a world that’s unplugged but teeming, damaged but liberated, full of recycled waste and boundless creativity, in a just society on a habitable planet.
When elbow grease replaces petrol, when utopias replace the economy, we’ll still be able to listen to and play electro music without electricity, techno without high-tech, rave parties without chemicals.
TALES OF POST-COLLAPS: a musical series that tells the story of Compost, a musician from Post-Collaps, in the 22nd century.
Thursday 18 sept. – St Hilaire – Cafeteria area
Friday 19 & Sunday 21 Sept. in St Hilaire – Saturday 20 in Lumbin
The Nautilus Scaphanders – Compagnie Déo
Wandering street theatre
A team of explorers made up of bubble-spitting diver sail through a floating world between sea and sky. As they wander, they unveil a poetic universe of aerial juggling and animated marine objects in search of forgotten treasures.
A dreamlike, visual ballet, between depth and lightness, where every step is a wave, every gesture a feat.
Cast: Thibaut MATHIEU, Lukas VACA MEDINA, Damien HEINRICH, Julien MUNSCH
Retour d’Est
Balkan Funky Music
The clash of 3 explosive saxophones sucked in by a tornado of accordion and percussion, propelled by a tireless sub-bassophone.

Yotélé
Rock covers & compositions
Yotélé’s music straddles the line between electric riffs and acoustic harmonies, transporting listeners into a world that’s both raw and poetic.

Line up: Yotam (guitar, vocals), Pascal (bass), Eléna (flute, vocals), Philippe Cajon, Voncent (lead guitar), Yannick (harmonica…)

Ziriguidoum
A lively and energetic batucada on the Plateau des Petites Roches.
It all began in September 2009 in Saint Hilaire, a small village perched at an altitude of 1000m in the Chartreuse Massif… an amateur Brazilian percussion orchestra commonly known as a ‘batucada’ was formed under the artistic direction of Christine Fradin.
Today, Ziriguidoum is a group of twenty or so percussionists bursting with energy who want nothing more than to offer you a moment of happiness, put a smile on your face and a smile in your heart, and get you moving to the point of dancing in their new strolling creation!
