Readings of glittery tales by the Glitter Collective.
You know them, they already came last year, they are the Drag-Queens of the Paillettes collective! Our favorite Drag-Queens tell stories where it’s not necessarily the prince who saves the princess, where the heroes have the right to cry and the heroines to travel the world. Stories that open up new horizons, with all the cheerfulness we need in these uncertain times.
Wednesday 15 June 5.00 p.m. – Guinguette in Tours-sur-Loire
Literary stand by The Vagabond & Antonin Crenn
The Café la Vagabonde bookstore is a little corner of literary paradise in Tours. Installed since 2020, Brigitte Desbois offers us a literary selection of choice, where stories of women, travelers, rub shoulders with graphic novels that question gender and sexuality. She will come to offer us a literary selection of her own, with Antonin Crenn which will evoke his work, his works and his inspirations.
Wednesday 15 June 10 p.m. – Tours-sur-plage
HARVEY MILK by Gus Van Sant (2008)
A classic of committed cinema! The opportunity to rediscover the militant and political career of this elected official from San Francisco who was one of the figures in the fight for the rights of LGBTI+ people in the United States in the 1970s. This film retraces the last eight years of his life. . His fight for tolerance and the integration of homosexual communities cost him his life. His action changed mentalities and his commitment changed history.

“Masculine” by Charlelie
You may have already come across it on Instagram, dressed or shirtless, but always full of humor. Charlélie comes to present her very first show, Male. This “funny brunette with beautiful eyebrows” will make you laugh and prove to you that the theater is not just for girls. He comes out of his closet to make you laugh and prove to you that pink goes to everyone. In this show mixing stand up and self-mockery with a hint of girly songs, Charlélie seduces women, reassures men and invites everyone to reveal themselves.
