In Rennes, six cultural events not to be missed in November

Friday 15 and Saturday 16 November: Kool Thing, these are not one, but two evenings dedicated to alternative and independent music offered by the Antipode, in Rennes, with eight international groups on the Main Stage and two DJ sets in Le Club. Saturday will be marked by the return on stage of the Rennes group Totorro who are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their album Home Alone.

Do we still need TV? Should we take the information seriously? Here are two questions that will shake up the round tables of the Press Club festival in Brittany. The day of November 15 is dedicated to professionals. The one on November 16, dedicated to the general public, will offer numerous workshops to discover Breton media, the Rennes magazine La Vilaine or even a board game around journalism.

3 Cirque

Saturday November 16: do you like magic? Then you will love this close-up magic evening with Yohann Gauthier, as part of the Nuit du cirque. You don’t like magic? No problem, Magic Glouglou is also a friendly wine tasting orchestrated by sommelier Christophe Boisselier. It’s known: in France, we like to pair wine with baguettes.

• 4 Jazz

  Friday November 15: for its 34th edition, the Jazz à l’Ouest festival invites Sandra Nkaké to the South Pole. On vocals and guitar, the Franco-Cameroonian artist (voice of the year at the Victoires du jazz 2024) draws the audience into her skin-deep soul jazz universe, in line with her fourth album Scars.

• 5 Yaouank

  Saturday November 23: this year, the giant Yaouank fest-noz is being held at Liberté, which will be very practical for the people of Rennes if metro line B breaks down like last year. Fleuves will present its third album, and the stage will welcome old traveling companions like Plantec and the Ramoneurs de menhirs.

• 6 Theater

Saturday November 23: when the Belgian dancer and choreographer Damien Jalet meets the Japanese visual artist Kohei Nawa, it gives Planet [Wanderer]a piece as dreamlike as it is organic, halfway between dance and visual experimentation. As part of the TNB festival.
