Les Tréteaux du Beffroi: La Fontaine
Les Tréteaux du Beffroi present Autour de La Fontaine as a theatre piece built from the fabulist’s moral fables. Under Pierre Sémard’s direction, Dieulefit’s stage turns voices from the fables into a mirror of human comedy and social habit. The Drôme Provençale context gives the show a village-hall intimacy, joining classical French verse with live regional theatre practice.
Edentia Bal Trad at La Coconnerie
