‘Le Repaire’ was the Professional space of the 2009 festival, place to exchange and to meet for puppeteers from all over the world, a meeting space for companies. This is a dedicated territory where puppet arts declined under all their forms will get together to think about the concerns of our contemporary society. Conferences, round tables, were animated by actors of the cultural,
economic and social life. Open free hands and scenes put the puppet at the center of our debates. An informative, convivial place (with its bar and its animations), a caustic and sassy place!
Who acts behind us in the dark, whom advances masked, draws the strings, acts, interferes, hides, and emerges?
«Who manipulates who»?
The scenography of the place was entrusted, with the support of the ORCCA, to the collective resulting from the 7th promotion of the students from the “ESNAM” school left in June 2008.
