Boston Camerata – The Tale of Fauvel
The Tale of Fauvel: A Political Fable from Medieval France
Sunday, October 28 at 4pm – First Church in Boston, MA
Are you a bit on edge during this political season? Well, help is on the way…
This biting fable was conceived in Medieval France, but it feels as contemporary as the latest skit from late-night television.
See and hear the orange creature gallop towards NowhereLand! The malevolent animal Fauvel is the center of this medieval satire with music, mocking religious and political life in the fourteenth century. Watch Fauvel woo the Goddess Fortune, and resist his attempt to corrupt fair France!
Our semi-staged production offers a generous selection of music, text, and tomfoolery from the celebrated manuscript.
