A countryside festival that feels grand in Burgundy
Behind this slightly medieval name, Les Tréteaux de Pontus hides a true artistic gem in a cozy setting. Imagined and brought to life for the past ten years by the Compagnie du Bonheur Vert, the festival will take place in two charming villages in Saône-et-Loire, just an hour from Dijon, offering two weekends of shared emotions from May 23 to June 1, 2025.
First act at the Château de Pontus de Tyard in Bissy-sur-Fley (May 23 to 25),
Second act in Chenôves, at 1 rue Saint-Blaise (May 30 to June 1).
The program is a delightful mix of committed creations, challenging yet accessible theater, enchanting music, and stories that truly resonate.
And a quick practical note: food will be available on site, but credit cards are not accepted.

The must-see show: Pour un oui ou pour un non
Friday, May 30th at 7:30 PM in Chenôves, the stage ignites with Pour un oui ou pour un non by Nathalie Sarraute, brought to life by the Cie Hums. Just a heads-up: this two-voice play could turn your world upside down.
“The recipe is simple: You take a fantastic bio text from Nathalie Sarraute! Add in two people, without additives, who respect and love each other enough to express it. You blend it in the dream puree of one. Whisk it all together vigorously with a golden director... You get a magnificent soufflé that will knock you off your feet, make you laugh, and therapy your head with all your unfinished friendship stories. Featuring Valentin Clerc and Thibaut Pasquier.”
Friday, May 30th at 7:30 PM 1 Rue Saint Blaise, 71390 Chenôves Reservations right here.
