MAX ROUQUETTE’s writings put to music by LAURENT AUDEMARD & JAKÈS AYMONINO  A major poet of the Occitan language, Max Rouquette (1908-2005) was a prolific author of not only poetry but also prose, treatises and theatre plays. He translated Dante and Garcia-Lorca, and his play «Le Glossaire » has entered the repertoire of the Comédie Française (the French National Theatre).  Laurent Audemard and Jakès Aymoninos have put all their talent at the service of Rouquette’s writing, highlighting the melodic richness and magical realism of his language, enhancing its power of suggestion, exuding its fragrances and making its metaphors almost palpable.
