Jean Daniel Broussé is the only son of a 3rd generation baker. Destined to follow in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and great grandfather and inherit the family bakery in rural France… But JD – queer, a circus artist and intolerant to patriarchy  –  is not a baker.

(le) Pain is the unexpected chapter in the bakery story. A journey through bread making, acrobatics and growing up in strait-laced provincial France, that reverberates with the tragedy, comedy and joy of making a break for it. 

 A debut solo show from Total Theatre award winning artist JD Broussé, in collaboration with cheeky cabaret director and future national treasure Ursula Martinez. Co-commissioned by London International Mime Festival and Warwick Arts Centre.
