Temps d’M: The ticket office is open

The puppet event in Charleville-Mézières, held between two editions of the World Puppet Theater Festival.

From September 16 to 20, 2026, the Pôle International de la Marionnette – Jacques Félix will organize “Temps d’M.” Twenty-three puppet shows—totaling 65 performances—in theaters and public spaces, along with eight puppet-making workshops, four professional gatherings, artistic workshops, and social events open to all audiences, will bring the Ardennes and Charleville-Mézières to life for five days!

“Temps d’M” puts artistic experimentation and emerging talent in the spotlight. Alongside students from ESNAM*, Charleville-Mézières will welcome students and recent graduates from five leading schools in Germany, Belgium, Estonia, Norway, and Ukraine.

Performances in theaters and public spaces will be offered for audiences of all ages. A roaming deer puppet through the downtown streets and at the Ronde Couture will provide an opportunity to participate in workshops to build birds and take part in the performances.

The “PIMParty” events at Espace Lebon will provide an opportunity to socialize in the evening over drinks and to the sounds of a DJ set.

See you September 16–20, 2026, in Charleville-Mézières.
