Accompanied by the delicate, lively, and vibrant cello of Thierry Renard, a joyful and whimsical round dances through the seasons where rogues, priests, lords, maids, counts, peddlers, and all kinds of devils mingle. And let’s not forget the cows, goats, pigs, and hares! Through tales, songs, proverbs, and the eyes of La Ginette, Géraldine Maurin, who watches the months go by, Les Pourrateries offers a delightful array of characters and fantastical stories that allow us to be indignant and laugh without shame! Just like our ancestors, who were never short of humor or an opportunity to stop by the tavern... for a pint...!
