Feast of Fools was popular medieval festival regularly celebrated in Europe until the sixteenth century. Its central idea seems always to have been a brief social revolution, in which power, dignity and impunity is briefly conferred on those in a subordinate position.It was constantly the object of sweeping condemnations of the medieval Church.The Feast of Fools was finally forbidden under the very severest penalties by the Council of Basel in 1431

why does everyone have to hate on english!??!?! It gets annoying watching this vids and see all these negative comments. I'm watching the english one so I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING!!! I don't speak french and russian or italian or spanish if i could i wouldn't be watching this and if you don't like it DON'T LISTEN TO IT!!
hey, some people only speak one or two languages and they might not be french. from experience, im only just learning french and this is how i can enjoy this beautiful show for the time being till i learn the show. and it will kinda help me understand the story. so quit hating on all the english versions. sorry us english speaking arent as blessed to have learned all languages that you people are required to learn in school. we arent as lucky. so we try our hardest to learn to understand.
I agree. I'm French but have been looking for an english version for my bf (who only speaks English). This is wonderful! A lot better than I expected honestly.
Some things can't translate properly. My experience w/ the French language makes this more enjoyable, so i reccomend you learn. Otherwise, read the subtitles. Queen is God has all of them up with English subtitles. While some English versions r good, ze French ones, are better (i REALLY prefer the French version of this one). Think of it this way: ever listened to Vive le Vent? It's Jingle Bells in French, only it's about the wind of winter. It's awful, and way better in English.
To my knowledge there were two live video performances recorded, one in France and one in Italy. You can buy or download the majority of the songs in english, and dub them yourself, but as anyone will tell you, they suck. If you download/torrent the video (personally I like the French) you can also download subtitles.
I wish the music by itself (not the singing) was a bit louder. I think Bruno's voice stands out too much in a way that makes it sound like a karaoke version...
Well, I just wanted to watch umm, english version of the musical. I prefer French version as well. Just, interesting to watch the english one too. I can't find it anywhere though...
