Coquecigrues Festival, Theatre and Lacework - Rennes

From Sunday, January 24 2010 to Sunday, March 28 2010

Scenic arts in scenic settings

You may be asking yourself, what is this mysterious "Coquecigrue"? It is a strange, mythical creature, a word coined by writer Rabelais - the word has come to mean illusion or fancy in common French. In Rennes, however, the Coquecigrue is something entirely different.

The festival organisers have have a knack for organising their events in the most original venues. Stories in and of themselves, (manors, historical buildings, parks, etc.), these sites just might arouse your curiosity regarding the city.

Like in other years, the programme is family-oriented; performances for adults are paralleled by special performances for children in adjacent settings (often with a little snack time afterwards).
