The scheme Auteurs en tandem Marionnette & Théâtre invites an author who has been awarded the Aide nationale à la création de textes dramatiques and a puppet artist to meet, share their imaginations and work together on a cross-disciplinary writing project.

ARTCENA, the Pôle International de la Marionnette, La Chartreuse – Centre national des écritures du spectacle, La NEF – Lieu de création dédié aux arts de la marionnette et aux écritures contemporaines, the Théâtre de la Halle Roublot / Cie Espace Blanc, Le Manège, Scène nationale de Reims, Le Tas de Sable – Ches Panses Vertes – Centre national de la marionnette à Amiens, the TJP – Centre dramatique national de Strasbourg, La Comète – Scène nationale de Châlons-en-Champagne, L’Arc – Scène Nationale du Creusot and the Théâtre de Châtillon have joined forces, with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, to launch the ‘Auteurs en tandem Marionnette & Théâtre’ (Authors in tandem Puppet & Theatre) scheme, designed to encourage dialogue between the various types of writing.

The aim of this support programme is to encourage experimentation so that artists can enrich and distinguish their approach through dialogue with other visions, languages and skills. It aims to contribute to the cross-disciplinary nature (of the arts, sectors and networks) and vitality of contemporary writing.
