BORN IN 2011, THE OFFESTIVAL FIRST BROUGHT TOGETHER A HETEROGENEOUS TEAM OF DANCERS, CIRCUS ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, VIDEO MAKERS, TECHNICIANS, COOKS, ARCHITECTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, ETC. THE POOLING OF THEIR SKILLS HAS RESULTED IN A MIXTURE OF KNOW-HOW AND A LOSS OF REFERENCE POINTS which eventually led to the emergence of an ORIGINAL WAY OF CONDUCTING PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL.

IN THE EARLY YEARS, ITS PROGRAMME OF SHOWS, CREATIVE WORKSHOPS, CULINARY PERFORMANCES, INTERACTIVE EXHIBITIONS AND OTHER ODDITIES PLAYED WITH THE CONDITIONS, CRITERIA AND STANDARDS OF THEATRE AS A  SOCIAL RITUAL PLACE. THE ULTIMATE GOAL BEING TO MAKE THE ARTIST EX-IST!

FROM 2019, THE OFFESTIVAL BECOMES THE VISIBLE TIP OF THE GINCUBATOR ICEBERG AND IS ENTIRELY DEDICATED TO EXPERIMENTING WITH THE PUBLIC ON THE PROJECTS OF EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHERS WORKING IN THE STUDIO DURING THE YEAR.
