Created in 1961 by Jacques Felix, the World Festival of the Puppet theatres, has been produced with triennial editions. Great strides have been made by the participation of the Institut International, and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts de la Marionnette Charleville-Mézières! Every three years, the largest puppetry companies from around the world are found there, meeting with each edition a widened public who attended indoor shows and spectacles of streets. The festival is organized around its new leaders: Jean-Luc Felix, Jacques Felix and Anne Francoise Cabanis, recently named as the head of the festival with an aim of making the festival an on-going demonstration of professionalization. The ambition of this team is to develop the contemporary identity of the Puppet through programming. A selection of companies from around the world have a role to play in making Ardennes the “The puppet in the center of arts, meetings and innovations”.
