FILM SUMMARY
 
Charleville-Mezieres, the city of the French poet Rimbaud, is also famous for its puppets, dummies and other inanimate objects, which happily occupy the city during the
World Festival of Puppet Theatres, held every two years. This film, The Temple of the Puppet (Le Temple de la Marionnette), shows the breadth and creativity of an event that has continued to grow since its creation by a troupe of enthusiastic amateurs, “The Little Comedians of Rags” (Les Petits Comédiens de Chiffons), founded by Jacques Félix
during World War II.

The Temple of the Puppet shows the city booming during this extraordinary event, with its internationally known school, and puppetry in all its forms and dimensions!

The puppet is here at the centre of the arts
: it spawns with the visual arts, dance, music, and new technologies with traditional and contemporary performances, indoors and everywhere in the streets, both French and international. From foreign puppets, giant or Lilliputian puppets, in a myriad of techniques: marionettes, hand puppets, shadows, object theatre. From unusual works from all continents, combining robotics and the sacred, animism and modernity. It is also a huge party for the public and a time of gathering and strong commitment for the townspeople.

Charleville is a must for meeting the puppeteers of the world, a great popular festival in honor of Guignol, Pinocchio, and other unusual puppet figures.
