Duels 1900 aux Forges de Pyrène :

Un week-end tout en spectacle au cœur de la Belle Époque

Les Forges de Pyrène invitent le public à vivre une expérience hors du temps avec l’événement “Duels 1900”, un spectacle vivant et immersif qui plongera petits et grands dans l’atmosphère vibrante du début du XXe siècle.

Un voyage au cœur d’un village en effervescence

Le temps d’un week-end, une mystérieuse fièvre s’empare du village… Les tensions montent, les querelles éclatent, et l’honneur se défend désormais à la pointe de l’épée… ou au pistolet !

Un spectacle total :

Tout au long de la journée, les visiteurs assistent à une succession de duels théâtralisés mêlant escrime artistique, humour et scènes de vie d’autrefois :

• Boulangers contre forgerons
• Institutrices face aux bonnes sœurs
• Fermiers contre voleurs de poules
• Querelles de bistrot et rivalités familiales

Jusqu’à 12 duels par jour, avec un nouveau spectacle toutes les 30 minutes, dans des ambiances. Des scènes inspirées du quotidien, parfois cocasses, souvent épiques.
