A first “mise en bouche”

How to be a punk, join in the “Steppology” Church or learn about King Arthur’s “real”story - What a treat for the audience! The Fish & Chips festival kicked off with a fun family-friendly program where both kiddies and grown-ups could find something to get involved in: “Let’s go punk” was M. Royal’s motto (Fred Tousch), with Mohicans-making workshops, make-and-destroy sessions as symbols of the hate-it-all punk attitude. Kids loved kicking about on Fred’s punk guitar tunes, along with grabbing a warm hot chocolate and brownie (watch the news report)...

Enthusiastic public involvement again in the French and British company’s shows: Rouen-based Acid Kostic got the audience step up and down, as required in the “Steppology” Church ritual. And all is fine, as everybody got “steppified”! A remarkable mix of brass instruments, lyrical singing and comical tricks was some of the skills used Les Grooms to explain King Arthur’s legend; and Bash Street company and their 4-men skillful performance at the crossroads of mime, silent films, theatre and music also was also a charming experience for the audience.
