Monster Kid Festival

Monster Kid Festival: The Imaginary Celebrated in Limoges

Born in 2013 from the collaboration between the Théâtre de la Marmaille and the association L'Art Scène, the Monster Kid Festival quickly established itself as an unmissable event for fans of imaginary cultures in Haute-Vienne. For nearly a month, from mid-November to mid-December, this touring festival transforms several cultural venues in Limoges into true temples dedicated to fantasy, horror, and geek culture.

An Original Concept Blending Genre Cinema and Pop Culture

The Monster Kid Festival stands out for its bold programming, mixing screenings of fantasy and horror films, immersive cine-concerts, creative workshops, and thematic exhibitions. Spectators can discover or rediscover classics of genre cinema, contemporary works, and hidden gems, all in a friendly and quirky atmosphere. The festival gives pride of place to cine-concerts, where musicians accompany live screenings of silent films or fantasy short films, creating a unique sensory experience.

A Universe Between Manga, Fantasy, and Mythical Creatures

Beyond cinema, the Monster Kid Festival explores the entire spectrum of the imaginary: manga, fantasy, fantasy literature, board games, and pop culture. Fun workshops allow visitors of all ages to learn about fantasy illustration, special effects makeup, or monster creation. Exhibitions highlight the work of local and national artists involved in the world of fantasy.

Multiple Venues in the Heart of Limoges

The originality of the Monster Kid Festival also lies in its touring nature. The festival takes over several halls and cultural spaces in Limoges, notably the CCM John Lennon, municipal cultural centers, and other partner venues. This geographical dispersion allows it to reach a wide audience and bring culture to life in different neighborhoods of the city.

A Festival Open to All, from 6 Months to 666 Years Old

True to its quirky spirit, the Monster Kid Festival welcomes an audience from 6 months to 666 years old. The programming is designed to satisfy both novices and the most discerning connoisseurs, with sessions adapted for younger audiences and evening events for thrill-seekers. Affordable prices, from 4 to 18 euros per ticket, contribute to this commitment to openness and cultural democratization.
