MARIONETTEFESTIVAL
10th EDITION 

25 years ago, a vision was born: to create a theatre festival in Luxembourg that brought modern puppet theatre into the heart of the countryside—into barns, garages, and backyards. The Naturpark Öewersauer believed in that vision and made it a reality in their region.
Today, we celebrate the 10th edition of this unique and magical festival.
A heartfelt thank you to Maskénada for allowing me to bring this vision to life in 2001, 2003, and 2005; to Yo Cestroni & Nathalie Wahl for carrying it forward with dedication; and to Angélique D’Onghia for taking it to the next level.
Long live the Marionnette Festival in Toodler!
Happy 10th edition to everyone involved!

08. - 10.06.2025
Toodler (Tadler) Luxembourg

: Paul Thill / 1st edition of the festival - Esch-sur-Sûre, 2001

Merci: Carole Ensch & Josette Feinen

DRUMBLEBEE
award-winning musical theatre without words

ALTE OPER, Frankfurt
15. june 2025


When 4 researchers-percussionists are hit by the moon, they lend themselves to funny games. Drum skins make a frantic dance and a triangle is a cause of trouble! Will the mystery of the moon be unraveled or is it the groove that leads to peace?

FIASKO FEST
Guest appearance on Luc Spada's podcast

Radio  100,7 - FIASKO FEST 
S02E27 - Mir scheiteren ëmmer nach.

30. march 2025, 18h00
Véronique Kolber an Dan Tanson

What didn’t go so well? When did it hurt? What was your last failure?
At Fiasko Fest, it’s not about winners. It’s about the opposite. We celebrate losing—an anti-attitude toward constant achievement and honest conversations. This show is hosted by Luc Spada.

INFOs:

Welcome! Together, we invite you to step into a shared space where we will embark on a delicate, poetic, and playful journey. Here, the music will infuse the paper with a new soul, bringing it to life—tentative at first, stumbling, then finding its rhythm. As it takes shape before your eyes, the paper will bend, twist, and transform, gradually transcending its limits and soaring beyond, just as we may have all longed to do since birth. This magical meeting between harp and paper emerges from a contemporary practice, where instruments are "prepared" with objects like paper, creating unexpected and unique sounds.
