Exhibition | Gaudeō! 20 years of Casteliers

 

Exhibition opening: Thursday, March 6 at 5 p.m.

 

This exhibition, commissioned by the borough of Outremont, celebrates the 20th anniversary of Casteliers, a key player in the development of puppetry arts in Québec and Canada. It presents a selection of Québec shows, puppets, and sets that have marked the two decades of this international festival, along with an overview of Casteliers’ other major achievements and its impact on the borough.

The Maison internationale des arts de la marionnette (MIAM) is a permanent space dedicated to puppetry arts, in the borough of Outremont. It offers an unrivalled venue for exploring this art form—the 11th art—that is both age-old and contemporary. Gaudeō, a Latin word evoking a state of joy and contentment captures the celebratory spirit that is the motivating force behind this retrospective!
