On May 30, we’re transforming our traditional cocktail fundraiser into a sophisticated garden party to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Hosted by Édith Cochrane, the event will be held on the grounds of the Maison internationale des arts de la marionnette (MIAM), and will be inspired by the traditional British Afternoon Tea.
Don your finest attire, and above all your most elegant hats! There will be a competition to determine the most original headgear.
During this unique and festive occasion, allow yourself to be enchanted by The Fawn and the Child, a poetic ambulatory performance featuring inhabited puppets designed and performed by Magali Chouinard, in collaboration with Frédéric Jeanrie.
They will be followed by the masked lazzi: first, Catherine Chabot, in the role of her colourful Madame de Rothschild character, then Marie-Pascale Bélanger and Gabrielle Chabot will bring their endearing masked Sparrows to life.
We’re also delighted to welcome musical ensemble Les Polyglottes, who will be performing throughout the evening.
