La Cie du Tire-Laine

Energic source of original musical scene from Lille, 'la Compagnie du Tire-Laine' is a collective of about fourty musiciens distributed into 12 bands. They all mix traditional musics Gyspy, Klezmer, Musette, Gnawa, Arabo-Andalousian and new sonorities, performing on National and International stages: the Olympia, the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris, the Sziget Festival in Budapest, the Respect Festival in Pragues...

Leaded by Arnaud Van Lancker ("Nono"), acordionist and emblematic figure, the tribe leads musical actions as much as social actions, defending the Gypsies condition. Tire-Laine also collaborates to various European creations with Veenfabriek in the Netherlands, Antigone's theater in Courtray, Belgium. We also work in France with the Prato (circus) or the National Center of the Art of Circus, training students to become performers.

When Tire-Laine gets in the place, they dedicate the night to the musics they like to play and share it with public, keeping up the party into a festive and warm spirit!

Many unexpected surprises will wait for you during this travel into our universe from stage to stage.

From tales to Gnawa music to Gypsy brass bands, shades of electro and 40's like ballroom will throw the public into a huge musical whirlpool ... You'll forget what time it is !
