Organized since 2001 by the Mouffetard, the Théâtre de la Marionnette in co-production with the Maison des Métallos and the City of Pantin, the BIAM is the meeting point for the presentation of shows by recognized contemporary puppet artists from Europe and elsewhere. 47 French and foreign companies are mobilized to present, most often, recent creations.
Widely established in Île-de-France, it will take place with more than a hundred performances in a dozen theaters of the Paris region and in Pantin.
The Théâtre du Fil de l'eau, the Jacques Brel room, the Dynamo of Banlieues Bleues or La Nef - Manufacture d'Utopie were the privileged places of the art of the puppet in Pantin the previous years. Thus, great names of the theater of objects, small forms, new creations and shows in outdoor or in caravan were mixed there. From discoveries to sure values, one will wonder who, of the man or the puppet, manipulates whom?
