Sun 5th Feb SAINT-SULPICE-LES-FEUILLES

Yves Désautard, King of Banturles

Banturle is a typical Limousin idiom that refers to a person who enjoys life, who is easily distracted from his work and likes to go for a drink with friends and to discuss how to change the world, philosophising about the harsh condition of Man and producing profound maxims (Cows rushing to the water trough are as dangerous as closing time at the pub.)
Yves Désautard has been King of Banturles since 1982, an incredible thirty-year reign. Amongst his multiple activities, Yves is known by his regular broadcasts on France Bleu Limousin. He is the official entertainer of the exclusive club of the communes with funny names (Arnac la Poste = Rob the Post, Vatan = Get lost, Folles = Crazy women, Rancon = Makes one stupid ..) He performs on a regular basis on stage with his own plays such as "The Last Pub before the Creuse".
Yves Désautard's new play is named the "Little Theatre of Banturles" and brings back to life many famous people and celebrities of the Limousin, starring with his two sidekicks, Jean-François Julien (a journalist) and Christophe Dupuis (an accordion player). You will enjoy two hours of jokes, songs and laughter - should you have some command of the French language. Cazalibus will be pleased to welcome you in St-Sulpice-les-Feuilles (A20 - exit 22), with a free glass of mulled wine before the show, on Sunday 5th February, 3.30 pm.
Tickets €12 per person. Bookings by phone (05 55 76 70 15), by e-mail cazalibus@orange.fr or by post (with payment): Cazalibus - 14 place de la Fontaine - 87160 Les Grands-Chézeaux.
