Cabaret en chantier

Cabaret en chantier is a laboratory for short puppet creations that treats making a puppet show like walking a tightrope while juggling. Balanced between text and image, between real and imaginary, between the animated and the inanimate, it demands writing, building and precise manipulation; every gesture and detail can tip the whole. This edition highlights emerging artists—students and career-changers—who receive institutional support to explore and reinvent puppet arts, presenting their first creations.
