Nantes is a city whispering to the ears a nonchalance that needs to be tamed.
Monsieur Bourgogne’s Bull Machin

“Monsieur Bourgogne’s Bull Machin” is a show closing the residency project “Great Bellevue” in which the company was invested since 2019. The Friday was devoted to Bellevue and especially to the pupils and students of the schools the company bonded with, via the character of Monsieur Bourgogne, creating a remarkable relationship durably anchored in the collective memory of the neighbourhood. This creation is a co-production Royal de Luxe – Nantes Métropole – City of Nantes – City of Saint-Herblain – City of Villeurbanne. Around 400 000 spectators.


A sort of weightlessness to sniff sideways to avoid being dragged somewhere else than underneath our feet.

It might be a journey where two dog friends want to see each other.

Deep down the Bull Machin and the Xolo came more to have fun than to distract people.

They both have wonders underneath their paws.

When they run, the concrete shines with tenderness and bends to embrace passers-by with two arms:

like that!!
