Let's go to see a play!
Patraque Théatre perform
Le Jardin
by Brigitte Buc...
What's it about?
Tout au long d'une année, saison après saison, cinq personnages se croisent dans un square parisien. Ce petit jardin si ordinaire va devenir leur trait d'union, leur lieu commun... Suzanne, vieille dame sans famille, se nourrit de l'affection qu'elle porte à son entourage tandis que Jeanne, mère célibataire caractérielle, se mure dans l'agressivité. Antoine vient d'emménager dans le quartier. Philippe, quant à lui, est un golden boy vaniteux et infidèle. Et Violette, la jeune étudiante venue de province, peine à trouver sa place dans la capitale. Tous vont pourtant se bricoler une drôle de vie de famille, d'amour et d'amitié...
When?
Saturday 8th October at 20:30
Where?
Salle de la Cave, Rue de la Coste, AURILLAC
