Festival FORMA: Professional day, POLEM and its actions - L'Entre-Pont, Le 109, Nice
9.30am to 11am: “Writing Puppets”
In 2025, three regional groups - the Collectif marionnettes en AURA (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), the Fédération des arts de la marionnette en Occitanie and POLEM - conducted a survey among their members to identify the characteristics and specificities of theatrical writing for puppets and objects. The project was named “Écrire marionnette”, in reference to other similar initiatives in circus, dance and other aesthetic languages. In the Southern Region, over 13 artists responded to this questionnaire, and their answers shed new light on the richness and diversity of our practices. Come and discover the results of this survey!
11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.: “SODAM: progress report”
