A dual performance of two new plays set in 19th century Brittany, France. “Kouign-amann au Finistère” revolves around the story of the development of the famous local cake Kouign-amann, as it portrays the changes brought about in the villagers as they interact with Ganeco, the guardian deity of the village. The two-story “L’orange amére” depicts the tale of the breakdown of a family at a Brittany-style wake in an area where a strongly Celtic way of thinking lingers; and a story of escape from the crumbling utopia of Albedo. These two works express life and death, and the love between family and friends through the act of eating.
