Within the framework of the constitution of a Pole of reference for the puppetry arts, the Institut International de la Marionnette recruits its Deputy Director in charge of the resources (M/F).
The Institut International de la Marionnette (IIM) and the Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes are getting closer in order to constitute, on the horizon 2023-2024, a single and same Pole. Unique in France, this future reference centre will bring together all the components of the puppet industry (initial and continuing education, research, heritage, creation, mediation, dissemination), with a view to consolidating and developing the puppet arts on a national and international scale.
In Charleville-Mézières (08), the Institut International de la Marionnette develops activities of higher education through the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts de la Marionnette (ESNAM), as well as courses of continuous professional training. It manages a Documentation and Collections Centre and a Research and Innovation Pole on the puppet arts.
The Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes of Charleville-Mézières is a major event for the art of puppetry and for live performance. It takes place every two years and ensures creation, mediation and diffusion missions throughout the year, in particular with Temps d’M, inter-festival event.
