In a setting composed of wagons, tents and an embroidered backdrop, the company Nessamelda-Le grimoire nomade offers entertainment and shows combining theater, juggling, music and combat reenactments. The famous epics will take here a humorous turn while allowing to evoke the life of the artists of the XIth century.
Discover or re-discover the most famous of epics: the Song of Roland narrates the last fight between the knight Roland and the valiant knights of Charlemagne against a Vasconian army during the battle of Roncevaux. The sound of the olifant will ring out and the sword of Durendal will sparkle!
The company will tell the saga of Harald Hardrade, the ruthless king of Norway who launched a great expedition to England in 1066, the gesture of William in the middle of the battle of Hastings opposing the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans, as well as that of William of Orange, Charlemagne’s lieutenant who sought to take the city of Nîmes through a ruse inspired by the Trojan War.
Nessamelda also honors the Fables of Aesop, legendary from the eleventh century, well before being popularized by Jean de La Fontaine. Their staging of animals always carries a morality rich in meaning... or not!
