A weekend around the truffle

Truffles in the spotlight in Nîmes.
Midi Libre – RICHARD DE HULLESSEN

The duo BigFlo & Oli in concert at Paloma

The BigFlo & Oli duo is the story of two brothers with precocious, insolent and refreshing talent, two artists who passionately love the stage and who have been accumulating diamond records for several years. After a short media break, the two Toulousians return with a new project The others are us. On this intimate record, they do not hesitate to reveal a form of vulnerability, returning introspectively to questions such as the place of art, identity, celebrity. The album welcomes many guests, rap heavyweights or pop stars, from Vald to Francis Cabrel or MC Solaar. Having filled the big halls for years, they embarked on a tour intended as a moment of closeness and complicity with the public. It is full almost everywhere. This is also the case in Nîmes…

Saturday, February 4, 8 p.m. First part St’Ban. Paloma, 250 chemin de l’Aérodrome, Nîmes. Complete. 04 11 94 00 10.

The young humorist Mano back at Télémac.

The young humorist Mano back at Télémac.

He is still a high school student at Philippe-Lamour and already on stage! Mano is Freewheeling this weekend at Télémac, after filling the room for the first time in the fall. For this one on stage, the young comedian from Gard has built a crazy and electric show around a single theme: human bullshit. And here is a subject that gives food for thought, laughs and writes… Between racism, homophobia, natural selection, ecology, consumer society and even the world championship of extinguishing candles with the anus, this great admirer of Raymond Devos plays with words and offers humor that also offers a look at the world in which he grows up…

Saturday February 4, 8:30 p.m. Télémac theatre, 14 rue Fernand-Pellotier, Nîmes. €10, reduced €7. 04 66 21 07 60.
