Spectacle : C'est un Songe, c'est la Nuit, c'Était l'été Dans la Cité

On 31 may 2024
Dans le clos de l'Abbaye, Place de l'Abbaye
Light fantasy in 5 acts, sung and choreographed by La Cité des Menestrels and inspired by William SHAKESPEARE. The action is transposed into the public space of the vintage 70s in Thouars, Vrines and Saint Jean de Thouars : thwarted love, fairies, elves, music… could this confusing outdoor night, where anything is possible, be a dream ? - Directed by Nichola SOUDIERE and Guillaume LUCAS, with the dancing eye of Barbara DUCHEMIN. - Reservations recommended, places limited.
