“It’s a rock! It’s a peak! It’s a headland! What am I saying – a headland? It’s a peninsula!”

Workshops, Act 1: Welcome to the Hôtel de Bourgogne. The curtain rises on a Parisian theatre in the year 1640, still lit by candlelight. Bourgeois, nobles, soldiers, pages and merchants cross paths. Then Cyrano arrives!
Workshops, Act 2: Step inside Ragueneau’s Rotisserie. The action takes place in the cosy rotisserie of Ragueneau, a pastry chef and poet, where the aroma of freshly baked bread, pastries and cooking mingles with the recitation of verse. Then Cyrano arrives!
Act 4 workshops: Experience the Siege of Arras. The Gascon cadets find themselves in a precarious position, surrounded by earthworks and abandoned weapons. The soldiers, starving and exhausted, live in a bleak landscape where the countryside lies devastated. Then Cyrano arrives!

You can take part in all three workshops or choose just one. And at the end, for the dress rehearsal, we’ll bring it all together!
