About
Puppet making workshop by Alex Rochereau.
Sculptor Alex Rochereau presents characters inspired by the universe of Philippe Corentin's picture books in the exhibition "Cric, Crac, Croc … Corentin!". He has also concocted a puppet theater and 3D puppets for librarians to tell the story of the book Papa! by Philippe Corentin (© L'école des loisirs) in a different way.
During this workshop, he will invite both young and old participants to build their own articulated puppet, inspired by Philippe Corentin's stories, and tell their own stories in the puppet theater.
This workshop is organized as part of the exhibition Cric, Crac, Croc … Corentin! An exhibition in tribute - Ville de Paris and is part of the highlight "Eating, Being Eaten"
