Culture December 8, 2026

About the event

The Théâtre Le Bateau Feu – Scène nationale Dunkerque presents “Why Is a Tree a Chicken?”, a visual performance in which words transform into shapes, movements, and then stories. On a white carpet and a blackboard, Marc Lacourt explores freedom through a poetic interplay, following his previous work "La Serpillière de Monsieur Mutt." Meet-and-greet with the cast after the performances. The stage comes alive with a tender and whimsical production, celebrating art as a celebration and a human adventure. The venue offers a welcoming setting to discover this exploration of dance and language.

My mom is weird

Dunkerque

A tattooed mom who listens to rock music and wears sequined bodysuits, who dances in her underwear and raises her fist? Apparently, that’s weird… This new production by Barbaque Compagnie tells the story of a single-parent family—a feminist mother who’s as free-spirited as she is whimsical—and a child growing up surrounded by unconventional yet caring adults. This show—featuring a single performer, a few puppets, songs, and surprises—opens the door to alternative models of family and parenthood. • Family Saturday Tattoo Your Parents After the performance of *My Mom Is Weird*, Barbaque Compagnie invites you to a temporary tattoo workshop inspired by the creations of July la Marmaille. Let the kids take the reins and become the living canvas of their imagination! after the performances on Saturday, November 14 • On Stage with the B!B You can also enjoy books provided by the B!B that relate to the show around the 3:00 PM performance

The Art of Always Being Right

Dunkerque

Here’s the foolproof method for winning any election! All you have to do is listen carefully to the explanations given by the two speakers, Jane and Bruno. Setting aside truth, ethics, and morality, this hilarious “true-false” lecture humorously examines techniques of mass manipulation and the excesses of the political and media worlds. • Bike Ride Come bike over to see the show *The Art of Always Being Right*. The ride is open to everyone. Led by the Droit Au Vélo Association of Dunkirk, we’ll form a highly visible group and ride safely together. Tuesday, October 6 | departure at 6:30 p.m. (return on your own) Free with registration at the box office • Post-show discussion following the performance on Thursday, October 8
