The habit does not make the monk
The Cie Sembadelle is back in Asnapio with a historical but unquestionably comic show that received the Gros Coup de Coeur from the "Fous d'histoire" show in 2015. “Straight out of their monastery, three monks and a nun of strong character are charged with marrying Dorimène as soon as possible. The ceremony takes place today with a hymn. On the way, armed with banter, they go in search of a suitor. They do not hesitate to help their neighbor, in the strong way, that of the elders. Prayer, exorcism and blessing, they take the opportunity to purify the population.” Shows at 2:30, 3:45 and 5 p.m. More quiet, Brother Arthus of St Côme presents his wardrobe to simple which contains more than one hundred rare pharmaceutical raw materials including dragon blood, elemi gum or mastic of Chio. This Benedictine apothecary master with a well-documented discourse informs visitors about the introduction of plants and techniques in pharmacopoeia over the centuries. At 3pm, 4pm and 5pm. Many participatory workshops, open access and continuous, allow children, accompanied by their parents, to discover the monastic world and its secrets: creation of stained glass and herbarium, calligraphy, pottery… At every age, his workshop!
