Le Grand Voyage de Tchangara 

The Giant Tchangara, a 9.5 meter high string puppet manipulated by eleven people, takes off from the Ivory Coast to travel the world and spread a message of love, peace and ecology. Looking for small spokespersons, he’s coming to visit a few different schools. Tchangara started his travel in Villeurbanne for the “Capitale française de la culture 2022” and will continue in Charleville-Mézières just before being in Lyon, Saint-Étienne and Paris for the final of the Rugby world cup !
