Temps d’M 2024

Reunion and emotions

Temps d’M came to a close after 5 days of celebrating the puppetry arts in Charleville-Mézières: what an edition!

It was a moving and joyous reunion for all the graduates of the 13 classes of the Ecole nationale supérieure des arts de la marionnette in Charleville-Mézières, who were honoured at Temps d’M, as well as for the students from the Academy of Puppet Theatres in Kharkiv, Ukraine, invited for the 3rd consecutive time by the festival.

66 performances of 25 shows, 80% public attendance in theatres, 3,900 tickets sold, an estimated 2,000 people for the shows presented in public spaces, 100% public attendance for the 4 ‘family puppet building’ workshops organised, as well as for the 10 public visits to ESNAM, the 4 Escape game sessions, the 4 puppet tours in the city and the ‘Super Barionnette’ (an estimated 800 people), 5 days of sunshine; an extraordinary ‘Prom Ball’, a masterful Ukrainian show, delighted audiences, a world premiere…

Temps d’M is a great collective success, and has become a not-to-be-missed event.

A huge thank you to the artists, the audience, the volunteers, our paid staff and all our partners.
