(le) Pain - Ludlow Food Festival, Ludlow, UK
(le) Pain is the debut solo show from Total Theatre award-winning artist, JD Broussé. It was made in collaboration with cheeky cabaret director and future national treasure Ursula Martinez and co-commissioned by London International Mime Festival and Warwick Arts Centre.
Jean Daniel Broussé is the only son of a third generation baker. Destined to follow in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and great grandfather and inherit the family bakery in rural France… But JD, queer, a circus artist and intolerant to patriarchy – is not a baker.
(le) Pain is the unexpected chapter in the bakery story. A journey through bread making, acrobatics and growing up in strait-laced provincial France, that reverberates with the tragedy, comedy and joy of making a break for it.
Jean Daniel Broussé (JD to his friends) studied Medieval History and Modern Literature at university in France and then Circus Arts in London. He worked with Square Peg, Barely Methodical Troupe and Ellie Dubois’ Superfan AND he co-created KNOT with Nikki which won international acclaim and many awards. JD is not going to bake cakes. Or Bread. Or is he?
