In French
A walkabout theatrical experience through the Maison Théâtre, carefully developed in compliance with hygiene and physical distancing measures.
Let the puppets surprise you!
Where do puppets come from? How are they born? How do they move? Do they ever retire?!
Théâtre Motus has teamed up with six other companies specializing in object and puppet theatre to invite you on a one-of-a-kind journey through the Maison Théâtre. Get to know some fascinating characters who will come to life with a little help from nine talented puppeteers.
Within your family bubble, you’ll discover what goes on backstage, how full-view manipulation works, and the incredible mechanisms that breathe life into these imaginary worlds.
Wind your way down a corridor, reach the top of a staircase and explore a secret backstage corner, as string marionettes and rod puppets, both super-sized or miniature, realistic or fantastic, reveal some of their best-kept secrets.
