Yael Rasooly presents a solo performance that blurs puppet theatre and song. As creator, director and performer, Rasooly animates Édith, a lifelike puppet, and weaves an autofictional narrative about loss, trauma and recovery. Haunted by a painful secret that silences her voice, the artist explores resilience through intimate staging, spare scenography and a companion puppet that becomes an unlikely life coach. Live singing and muppet puppetry combine with irony and tenderness to create a resonant, intense experience.

Directed and adapted by Laure-Isabelle Blanchet, Porculuce follows a young sow who loves mud and sets off to find a new promised ground when automation and obsessive cleanliness erase her joy. Performed by Delphine Barut, Delphine Delabeye and Laure-Isabelle Blanchet, the show animates a cheerful menagerie through varied puppetry—large body and rod puppets for the big animals, and rod and hand puppets for smaller creatures. Playful yet pointed, it juxtaposes 1970s hygienism with twenty‑first‑century hyperconnectivity to explore autonomy and freedom for children.

Cabaret en chantier is a programme of short puppet pieces that shines a spotlight on object theatre. Selected artists present compact, unpredictable performances shaped during a laboratory-style residency and mentored by Katy Deville. The works offer playful manipulation of everyday items, intimate stagecraft and a tactile, poetic atmosphere where humor and fragility meet. Lighting and minimal scenography create close-up encounters with animated objects, inviting concentrated attention and delight.

In a compact puppet-theatre setting, two performers compress Shakespeare’s Hamlet into a riotous, 60-minute spectacle. Pier Porcheron’s staging and writing drive a mix of object theatre, live sound and slapstick: one performer crafts music and soundscapes, the other animates an anarchic theatre of objects where forks, a kettle and even a drill become characters. With direction by Maïa Commère and object dramaturgy by Francis Monty, the piece blends black comedy, carnivalesque energy and sudden bloodiness in a festive, inventive show.

Follow Loïc, Erwan and Erwann, three seasoned plumbers in colorful oilskins and rubber boots, as they become heroic technicians of blocked pipes in this fast-paced puppet comedy. Through slapstick splashes, wild chases and a stage set like a construction booth, glove puppets and a table of props (bells, drills, horns) create live sound effects that drive the score. Energetic bagpipes and virtuosic foley turn every moment into playful chaos.
