AI for craft creativity workshop, CMA Normandie, Alençon

CMA Normandie - Site d'Alençon

The Normandy chamber of trades and crafts opens its Alençon site on a Tuesday morning for a discovery workshop on using artificial intelligence tools in making things. It is addressed to craftspeople, designers and anyone passionate about creating, and it needs no mastery of complex software. The programme covers AI tools for two-dimensional modelling, such as generating images, cutting outlines or engraving patterns, and for three-dimensional modelling, including turning a simple photo into a model ready to print or machine. It ends with a collective practical case for laser cutting and engraving. The organisers say participants can generate vector patterns for vinyl or laser cutting without knowing how to draw. The workshop is free but registration is compulsory, through the online form or by email to the adviser named in the listing. It is held at 52 boulevard du Premier Chasseurs, from 10:00 to 12:30, in French. «Atelier découverte : L’IA au Service de Votre Créativité Artisanale, à la CMA Normandie à Alençon (61)» Starts 10:00, ends about 12:30.

L'Heure Exquise, lyrical cabaret at the Théâtre d'Alençon

Théâtre d'Alençon

On Saturday 21 November 2026 at 18:00 the Théâtre d'Alençon, a stage of the Scène nationale 61, presents L'Heure Exquise by La Clé Mutine, a lyrical cabaret that the listing recommends for ages 12 and over. In a whirl of sequins, operatic voices and jubilant impertinence, it opens the doors of an unusual cabaret, a Rocky-Lyrique-Creature Show in which the Creatures of the Night suspend time to turn certainties upside down. Led by Odile de Mainville with artists drawn notably from Madame Arthur, the show mixes lyric singing, popular songs, poetry, human sciences and improvisation. The listing says Mozart meets Aya Nakamura and Monteverdi talks with Céline Dion, with surprising arrangements for accordion, piano and shruti-box. It lasts one hour 45 minutes. Tickets cost 21 euros for adults, 13 euros for under 30s and students, and 10 euros for jobseekers. A cabaret is a lively early-evening plan alone. «Un cabaret hors normes : un Rocky-Lyrique-Creature Show où les Créatures de la Nuit suspendent le temps.» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:45.

Ruy Blas, live from the Comédie-Française, Planetciné, Alençon

Planetciné

On Thursday 3 December 2026 at 20:10 the cinema Planetciné in Alençon, on Rue de Bretagne, shows Ruy Blas by the Comédie-Française as live theatre. The listing is published through the SCARE network of art house and repertory cinemas and describes the broadcast as coming direct from the Comédie-Française. The story summary says that Don Salluste, disgraced by the queen of Spain, wants revenge. To achieve it he forces his valet Ruy Blas to pass himself off as a nobleman so that he can approach the young queen. The tags credit the company of the Comédie-Française and Dominique Thiel. The session runs from 20:10 to 22:40. Tickets are sold through an online ticketing link given in the listing, and the listing does not state a price. Watching a classic play in a cinema auditorium is easy to do alone, since the audience sits facing the performance in the dark and there is no need to talk to anyone. «Théâtre en direct - Disgracié par la reine d'Espagne, Don Salluste veut se venger.» Starts 20:10, ends about 22:40.

ALTAIR conference: Hexatrek, with the director, Planetciné, Alençon

Planetciné

On Friday 4 December 2026 at 14:30 the cinema Planetciné in Alençon hosts an Altaïr conference around the film Hexatrek, with the director present. The listing recounts that in 2022, on a sudden impulse, she decided to cross France on foot through its most beautiful mountain ranges, a walk of 3000 km of trails. The listing tags the event with the name Cécile Carnimolla Mailhos and classes it as a documentary. The afternoon runs from 14:30 to 17:00. The listing does not give a price and does not mention a booking arrangement. A talk about a long solo walk is easy to attend alone, since the audience gathers to hear one story and to ask the director questions afterwards. «En 2022, j'ai pris sur un coup de tête, la décision de traverser la Franceà pied par ses plus beaux massifs.» Starts 14:30, ends about 17:00. Source: OpenAgenda — SCARE - Syndicat des Cinémas d'Art, de Répertoire et d'Essai (open data). The listing gives a 14:30 start, a 17:00 end and the director's presence, but no price.
