Band Members: La Nouba features two groups of characters. Throughout the show, the magic and fantasy of the colorful Cirques clash with the monochromatic world of the Urbains. But as in fables, it is not so much this contrast as the interplay between the two groups which sparks our curiosity and feeds our imagination.
From this encounter is born fear and ecstasy. From this encounter is born La Nouba.
