GROUPIDUPIANIX
Playing age : 18/28 years old – High baritone / Tenor
Young Gaul who dreams of being the future S.T.A.R. of singing, the greatest bard of all Gaul. Eternal teenager with his share of dreams, fun, bad faith… and egocentrism, but always likeable. He feels misunderstood and out of place in the village but intends to prove to everyone that his dream is no less powerful than the other Gallic destinies!
Note that the performer will also play the roles of Assurancetourix and a legionary.
SEROTONINE
Playing age : 18/25 years old – Modern soprano with good mixed voice
Young Gallic girl who dreams of becoming the very first female druid and imposing herself as such, through hard work and perseverance. Mischievous, always cheerful and with an annoying tendency to rave about anything and everything, she will support Groupidupianix in the accomplishment of his dreams, and hers at the same time!
Note that the performer will also play the roles of a Gallic fan of Groupidupianix and a legionary.
BARRAMINE
Playing age : 35/50 years old – Mezzo
Sheep breeder and mother of Groupidupianix, separated from her husband, and who tries as best she can to make Groupidupianix return to the right path so that he finds a “normal” job like his brothers and sister. She is often overwhelmed, and therefore often becomes authoritarian, with a tendency to make a mountain out of a molehill.
FLEURYMEROGIX
Playing age : 20/30 years old – Baritone – Tap dancing appreciated.
Elder brother of Groupidupianix, guardian of the village, a cold-looking Gaul built like a tank who totally despises the dreams of his little brother.
Note that the performer will also play the role of a legionary.
PUREEMOUSSELINE
Playing age : 20/30 years old – Mezzo Soprano – Tap dance practice appreciated.
Older sister of Groupidupianix, boar breeder with her twin, with whom she easily makes fun of the strange dreams of their little brother.
Note that the performer will also play the roles of a Gallic fan of Groupidupianix and a legionary.
CHARCUTERIX

TURLUTUS
Playing age: 30/45 – Baritone
General determined to get hold of the magic potion and to bring down the village of the invicible Gauls.
Note that the performer will also play the role of Ordralfetix.
CHAPEAUPOINTUS
Playing age : 18/30 years old – Baritone / High baritone
A not particularly smart legionary, who undoubtedly owes his position to the fact that he is Turlutus’ nephew, who will do anything to please him.
Note that the perfomer will also play the role of a Gaul.
FLEURDHIBISCUS
Playing age: 18/30 years – Baritone
A jaded legionary often sent on missions in pairs with Chapeaupointus, whose abilities he does not particularly appreciate…
