First and only baroque theatre festival in Périgord Noir
L'Oghmac, created in 2015 by the Compagnie Oghma and its director Charles Di Meglio, is the first and only baroque and popular theatre festival in France. The festival celebrates the theatre of Molière's early days, when he travelled across France with his stages, sets, and costumes in a cart.
The festival sets up its stages in the gardens, barns, and courtyards of the most beautiful historical monuments of Périgord Noir. A unique feature: all shows are lit by candlelight, faithfully recreating the atmosphere of 17th-century theatrical performances and bringing the past to life with striking intimacy.
The Compagnie Oghma, based in Auriac-du-Périgord, brings together about fifteen professional actors and actresses whose average age does not exceed 30 years. The company focuses its efforts on ancient theatre from the 15th to the 17th century, offering eight days of theatre, music, cinema, and pyrotechnics in exceptional locations.
L'Oghmac will return in August 2026 for a new edition. Reservations: [email protected] or 05 53 51 89 25. More information on www.compagnieoghma.com.
The festival takes place in various historical monuments of Périgord Noir, around Auriac-du-Périgord (24290).
