The Institut français returns to the Fringe with this original production created with the Rennes-based company Paroles Traverses / Mythos Festival. Our Georgian building on Randolph Crescent becomes a ‘Breton embassy’ for the summer as it is taken over by the cranky Stanguennec family.
A powerful, experimental piece.

A charming French guide, eccentric characters.
* * * The List
Remember those Johnnies coming from Brittany with their onions? One of them settled in Randolph Crescent a long time ago. His great grandsons still live there and invite you for a tour of the family house.
Ok, we all know it’s not true. But what if it had been for real? The storytellers, comedians, musicians, puppeteers and designers of Paroles Traverses - Mythos Festival (Rennes, Brittany) take over the French Institute’s building to invent this onion Johnnies fantasy. This original Fringe production involves offices turned into bedrooms, striped shirts, onions (obviously) and some very silly stories.
