The purpose of Namur en Mai, le Festival des Arts forains
is to celebrate the modern creativity inspired by fairs
and entertainers; to revel in the variety and international
feel of the language of art; to experiment with and bring
to the stage new theatrical and visual experiences; to give
young creative talents just starting out a helping hand.
Open to everyone, the Festival puts on a wide range of shows,
some of which are free of charge, and Namur en Mai shares
the fundamental idea that creativity is a vital element
in our society, and the key to everyone discovering his
or her own value.
The Festival takes place in the centre of Namur over the
4 days of the Ascension long weekend. The whole area is
cordoned off for the actors and spectators and traffic is
banned. The 70 shows and performances on the programme take
place all around you, in squares, courtyards, streets, gardens,
car parks and theatres, all in exactly the right place at
exactly the right time, according to the schedule.
Every day, the festival closes with music at the Cabaret
forain.

To OPEN the city gates to performing arts means to bring out the value of open air spaces assigned to social life, to enforce the cohesion inside communities, to improve the local tourist activity, to create new routes for exchange and integration between European countries.
The creation of a international debate, the comparisons between
normative and laws, different urban patterns and policies for development
and support of performing arts, will drive to a new consciousness and
will produce new stimulus in administrators and art operators. This
route could not be undertaken on a simple regional or local level.
Our country, now, is Europe!
