What to expect
Le Lavoir is a theatre performance set in July 1914 in Jambles, a French village in Burgundy, during a heatwave.
Madeleine, Flavie, Marie, Simone, Céline and Rosalie meet at the lavoir to wash clothes and share their worries about the vineyard, the grape harvest, their husbands and the young men.
The men are mobilised one by one, and the women are left to handle the grape harvest, wine production and laundry while waiting for news from the front.
The war lasts four years and is ruthless; hope gives way to sadness, life is hard, and Marie grows impatient for a kiss.
- Girls flirt with boys on Saint Jean.
- Boys promise to return for vendange or Christmas.
- Postman brings bad news from the front.
- War seen through the women's eyes.
- Hope and desire remain.
- Organised by De Valk, Koninklijke Toneelvereniging Brugge/Sint-Andries.
- Price: €15.00.
