Têtes chercheuses – Becoming a puppeteer in 19th century France

Têtes chercheuses

The Pôle International de la Marionnette – Jacques Félix welcomes and supports the work of researchers. A new event, the “Têtes chercheuses” report on these projects.

Heir to a long history at the heart of theatrical creation, puppets gradually became an art form in the 19th century, due to the marginality induced by their status as curiosity shows. Emeline Rotolo proposes a discussion on this transition from a theatrical specialization to a specific art form.
