With them disappeared the washerwomen, the women who once ruled these places. Yet their spirits still live on in the wash houses that have withstood the passage of time, through the legends they left behind, as well as the texts, songs and paintings they inspired in so many artists. Our contemporary dance piece draws inspiration from these stories and incorporates songs and texts from the French tradition, reimagined in a contemporary style. It is performed by two dancer-singers and an actress. * An all-female street performance to the sounds of Brazil => with the BATUCADA TIMBAWA from Brunet => where? => in the heart of the historic centre => times? * 10.00–10.45 am: from Les Magnans to the Faience Museum * 11.30 am–12.15 pm: from Rue de la Bourgade to Place de l’Eglise * 2.30 pm–3.15 pm: from Place du Presbytère to Place Clérissy, Rue du Courtil and Place du Couvert * 5 pm–5.45 pm: from Place du Couvert to Rue de la Bourgade Organised by the Moustiers-Ste-Marie Tourist Office
