Danser à Lughnasa

The Théâtre de Nesle presents « Danser à Lughnasa  », a contemporary play that transports us to rural Ireland in the 1930s, into the heart of a family of five sisters.

« Danser à Lughnasa  » is a contemporary play that explores the intertwined destinies of five single sisters, the Mundys, living in precarious conditions in rural Ireland. The story, tinged with melancholy and hope, unfolds in the summer of 1936 and is narrated through the memories of Michael, the illegitimate son of one of them. The play depicts the daily lives of these women, their dreams, their frustrations, and the unbreakable bonds that unite them in the face of the challenges of their time.

On stage, the audience can expect an immersive staging that captures the particular atmosphere of this period and place. The cast, composed of Eva Freitas, Sidonie Gaumy, Roxanne Joucaviel, Charlotte Jouslin, and Julien Orain, brings these complex and endearing characters to life. The show, driven by sensitive writing, invites reflection on family, freedom, and life choices. The Théâtre de Nesle, with its intimate atmosphere, offers a suitable setting for appreciating this touching work.
