• Fish and Chips, an extraordinary combo, by Kate Merrill

  16 February 2010, by Kate Merrill, street-arts writer and translator
  A cold, January afternoon in Sotteville-Lés-Rouen. With its modest, post-war brick houses, this town seems sleepy, but don’t let appearances fool you. Just a 5 minute walk from the town’s center at Atelier 231, the audience, mostly children, are gathered to watch the kick-off show of this first edition of the winter street arts festival Fish and Chips. Winter, you say? Yes winter : with interior and exterior shows and installations, Atelier 231 is hosting a Frenglish event, an initiative of (...) Read further >>

• Fish and Chips, by Floriane Gaber

  16 February 2010, by Floriane Gaber, journaliste et chercheuse
  MERCREDI APRES-MIDI Bash Street The Station Public familial, centres aérés, un “pensionnat”. Les enfants réagissent à tout, crient comme au guignol pour indiquer où se trouve une valise. Bonne écoute. Les parents (et grand-parents) s’amusent tout autant, un sourire de gamin sur les visages. A la fin, pendant la remise en place du décor, les ados sont scotchés à la barrière et essaient de poser des questions aux acteurs, que leurs deux enfants aident pour la mise. Heureusement, la comédienne parle le (...) Read further >>

• The Strangelings - or how to perfectly manage the art of being quirky

  15 February 2010, by Aurelien Marteaux (Translation  Valérie Gooch)
  The festival-goers of the first edition of Fish & Chips could not have been more amazed... I am talking about the amazing artists of British company The Strangelings. Sudden appearances, interactive installation, show cheerfully absurd, and transformation of the usual bar at the Atelier 231 into a good old English pub, The Strangelings are into everything, mastering the tricky art of being quirky. Story of a theatrical marathon... [Friday 29 January] 7.36 pm, Promenade des Anglais. (...) Read further >>

• Meanwhile, at the pub...

  3 February 2010, by Jean-Marie Grall , Sylvain Marchand (Translation  Mathilde Vautier)
  Fred Tousch decided to experiment on the exclusively French festival audience. However, he warns us in this temporarily revamped English pub-like bar: “We’ll have to work within ourselves!” Oh yes we do, as Fred decided to test our “fairplay” side, that feeling we allegedly get towards our British neighbours during sports events like rugby. To do so, Fred Tousch shows us, for 15 minutes, the most painful moments in French rugby history, i.e the best British trials that humiliated our national (...) Read further >>

• La promenade des anglais

  3 February 2010, by Jean-Marie Grall , Sylvain Marchand (Translation  Mathilde Vautier)
  Compered by Fred Tousch, the second day of the Fish & Chips festival was a great opportunity for the audience to stroll along the “Promenade des Anglais” and discover Edmund Thal’s absurd world, puppets Hodman and Sally interactive walkabout, the great high wire walking performances from Altitude company or the fabulous stories of The Strangelings’ explorers. As soon as they arrive, the audience is immersed into the enchanting atmosphere created by the “fire installations” from the company (...) Read further >>
