Marionnet'IC Festival

A puppet festival rooted in the territory

The Marionnet'IC Festival was born in Saint-Brieuc over 25 years ago. Over the years, it has established itself as one of the major cultural events in the Côtes-d'Armor and the Saint-Brieuc agglomeration, bringing together dozens of French and international companies specializing in puppetry and object theatre every year.

A program for all ages

The festival's ambition is to guarantee access to culture for all, and particularly to the art of puppetry. The program is aimed at all audiences, with shows accessible from 3 months old. Young and old alike find their happiness, between intimate shows, large-scale productions, and innovative creations mixing puppets, object theatre, and new technologies.

A festival throughout the agglomeration

For several years, the festival has chosen to extend its reach across the entire territory of Saint-Brieuc Armor Agglomération. Shows are presented in about twenty towns, with a festival hub at La Griff in Saint-Brieuc. Partnerships with cultural and educational stakeholders in the region enable innovative actions: shows at residents' homes, in nurseries, in nursing homes, outdoors, or by bicycle.

Major companies

Each edition hosts more than twenty companies for nearly 80 performances. The festival also offers professional meetings, workshops, and discussion forums between artists and the public.
