Saturday November 30 at 8:30 p.m., at the Félix-Arnaudin space, the troupe of improvisers from Saint-Paul-lès-Dax, the Keskonfé, hosts in a return match the Tours Impro Club, an amateur theatrical improvisation association created in 2016 in Tours and bringing together a dozen actors.
It's a return match that will be heavy because the Tourangeaux do not hide their impatience to get their feet back on the Landes boards. For its first improvisation match of the year, the local troupe does not intend to be fooled. It has been putting improvisation theater in the spotlight for eleven years now, inviting amateur or professional leagues from the four corners of France and well beyond to play a home or away match. From the Lubi of Toulouse to the Quebecois of La Lica, more than 40 teams performed on the Félix-Arnaudin stage.
A cultural sport
Born in the 1970s in Quebec, the improvisation match allows two teams made up of three to six players to compete on themes and formats chosen by the referee. Master of time, the game and points, the latter is particularly vigilant about procedural defects. He knows how to be intractable! The master of ceremonies, a true mediator, ensures the well-being of the spectators by ensuring that everyone has understood the different moments of the improvisation match.
Participating in improvisation matches is a true cultural sport, made up of laughter, encounters, sweat, crazy verbal jousts and collective imagination that cannot be found anywhere else. Reservations on helloasso.com (entrance, 6 euros; free for children under 10).
