The Tale of Fauvel – This Weekend Only

This biting fable was conceived in Medieval France, but it feels as contemporary as the latest skit from late-night television.


The Tale of Fauvel:
A Political Fable from Medieval France

See and hear the orange creature gallop towards NowhereLand! The malevolent animal Fauvel is the protagonist of this acerbic and witty fable satirizing religious and political life in the fourteenth century and laden with implications for our own time and place. Watch Fauvel woo the Goddess Fortune, and resist his attempt to take over fair France! Our semi-staged production offers a generous selection of music, text, and visual stimulation from one of the most famous of all medieval manuscripts.
