LA CUISINE DES AUTEURS

A culinary spectacle in a theatre caravan, where the works of the great authors are savoured alongside local produce.

With *La Cuisine des Auteurs*, literature is savoured as much as it is listened to. Performing from a theatre caravan, Jérôme Pouly, a former member of the Comédie-Française, plays Ripaille, a Rabelaisian character who cooks up words with as much relish as he does local produce. Alone on stage, he simmers the works of Dumas, Colette, Baudelaire, Hugo, Balzac, Maupassant, Proust and Brillat-Savarin, blending performance, improvisation and interaction with the audience. Whilst the great authors whet the appetite, an appetiser is prepared using local produce freshly sourced from markets or local producers. After the performance, the gathering continues in a convivial atmosphere, where the flavour of words blends with that of the food. A travelling show – generous and delicious – celebrating literature, culinary heritage and the art of living together.

The show is co-hosted in Javols by Javols Anderitum – the Gallo-Roman archaeological site and museum – the Aubrac Regional Nature Park and the Hautes Terres de l’Aubrac Intermunicipal Community (EPCI).
