La Fête à Bruit is a festival dedicated to improvisation, combining artistic, theoretical, discursive and transdisciplinary perspectives.

It is inspired by festivals such as kuda.org Festival-In-Opposition in Novi Sad, the echoraum series and concert venue in Vienna, and Les rencontres internationales anti-autoritaires in St-Imier.
