Named after Pantagruel, the hero of Francois Rabelais’s 1532 Novel, they have adopted the books motto „do, what thou wilt“ to describe their fresh approach to early music. They combine serious musicological research with their experience not only in classical music, but also in rock music, jazz, theatre and dance and their performances further expand classical concert conventions by using renaissance practices of medley, improvisation and gesture.
It is the story of two giants, a father (Gargantua) and his son (Pantagruel) and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein.
Pantagruel, which became the second volume of the series, was published first, around 1532, then Rabelais wrote of Pantagruel's birth and upbringing in Gargantua.
This volume included one of the most notable parables in Western Philosophy: that of the Abbey of Thélème, which can either be considered a point-for-point critique of the educational practises of the age, or a call to free schooling, or all sorts of notions on human nature, Christianized or not.
The Pantagruel, a famous Kiev restaurant of Italian cuisine, is time-proved and, like an old wine with the years, it is just getting better, offering its guests the best of the rich Italian culture.
The restaurant was named Pantagruel to honor the main character of famous "Gargantua and Pantagruel" by outstanding Italian writer Francois Rabelais.
The restaurant is renowned for its first-class Italian cuisine, which is of exceptional quality as the chef of the Pantagruel, virtuoso Costantino Passalacqua, is Italian.
