History on Stage: historical, interactive shows at Blandy-les-Tours Castle (77)

Baudoin tells you about justice in the 13th century, challenging misconceptions about the imagined role of a medieval executioner. The audience takes center stage in this play, improvising brilliantly in a recreated court square. Humor and warmth are on the program.

• Goupil et Face

Goupil ou Face is a madcap take on an excerpt from the famous medieval tale "Le Roman de Renart." This clown show brings two completely zany partners together on stage! Acrobats, jugglers, singers and actors all at once, these cheerful fellows fire off gags at a hundred miles an hour and never give the audience a moment’s rest! A hilarious show for the whole family!

• Douce France

Douce France takes you back to the Renaissance through the stories of four iconic figures from French history, from the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre to the assassination of Henri III. Follow the stories of Marguerite de Valois, Henri III, the Duke of Guise and François d’Alençon through dance, song and sword fights.

• Mémoires d'oubliettes

This year, Théâtre du Cristal presents an original production, offering a moving, immersive experience at the heart of the castle’s history.
