After two years of pandemic, it's great to finally be able to see our audience in the flesh, to immerse ourselves in our creations, and to find the puppeteer in us still very much alive!

Oyé, oyé ! « L'Insolite-mobile: the Fabrique de théâtre insolite on the road» is ready to set out and meet the communities of the Mauricie region. The merry caravan of the Sages Fous presents puppet and object theater created by artists in residence at the future Fabrique.
These companies and artists, loved and sponsored by Les Sages Fous, offer unusual theater for the street and unconventional venues: churches, community halls, schools, barns, warehouses, parks and more.
Les Sages Fous would like to warmly thank the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation du Québec for its financial support of the project through the Fonds d'appui au rayonnement des régions.
As part of the Forum 2021 organized by the Réseau Les Arts et la Ville, South Miller, artistic director of Les Sages Fous and a graduate of New York's prestigious Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, is invited to talk about the future Fabrique de théâtre insolite project on Thursday, June 3 at 9am.
Forum 2021 will focus on the role of culture in health, living together, cohesion and social justice. Invited guests will present their initiatives and research findings, or launch in-depth reflections and debates on the role of culture in our society.
Forum 2021 will also be an opportunity to discover Trois-Rivières' cultural treasures, as they will be showcased throughout the event.
After all these emotions, we'd like to share with you the pandemic year that brought us through. It wasn't so bad after all! Here, in words and pictures, is the year 2020.
As part of an initiative to honor professional puppeteers from around the world, Caroline Bernier-Dionne conducted interviews to promote the artists. South Miller, artistic director of Les Sages Fous, is Caroline's guest for the 111th episode.
Watch it again and again! Enjoy!

Ce fut un jour merveilleux et palpitant !
