Once upon a time a door opened and two worlds collided...

Dreams clashed with reality.
The mundane mixed with the marvelous.
It was no longer possible to tell where one
world began and the other ended.
This new place was called La Nouba.

La Nouba, which calls on both individual and collective memory, is an unforgettable journey through an attic of make-believe - at once threatening and exhilarating, frightening and familiar. Among the cobwebs, the forgotten toys, the trunks bursting with memories, strange and fabulous characters lay dormant, just waiting to take up their tale. La Nouba is the story of all stories, the site of all mysteries, where dreams and nightmares sleep side by side. La Nouba is memory, individual and universal. It beckons to us, challenges us to uncover passions we thought we'd lost long ago; to frolic in our childhood dreams and enter a place where the extraordinary transforms and overcomes the ordinary. Here, anything is possible.

La Nouba is the meeting of two worlds poles apart: the fantastic world of the circus artists - the Cirques, sporting bright, fluorescent colors - and that of the Urbans, who wear dark, monochromatic outfits. When these two worlds first make contact, the magic and amazing feats of the one set fire to the pale mundanity of the other. The spark created by the interplay between these two groups sparks our curiosity and feeds our imagination. From this encounter is born fear and ecstasy. From this encounter is born La Nouba.
