Mario en création | Office de Tourisme de Vendôme

Mario en création is a real window onto contemporary puppet creation.
A special opportunity to be among the very first spectators to witness the nascent encounter between a show and its audience.

It is also an opportunity to discover the richness and diversity of contemporary puppetry.

Save the date!

From March 10 to 12, 2026, three shows and three artistic teams invite you to discover their projects and discuss their approaches.

Since 2022, L’Hectare in Vendôme, transformed into the Centre National de la Marionnette, has offered a variety of diversified services in addition to its cultural programming. These include the “biennale avec ou sans fil”, interactive sessions such as workshops and courses, as well as cultural initiatives involving schools, art schools, youth workers, medical-social centers and encounters with independent artists.

2026 Program

To enrich this highlight, early evening events will complement the program, with presentations of projects currently in development: readings, excerpts, presentations, and other forms of sharing proposed by the artists.here
