Who are we ?
Nous sommes la compagnie LML (Les Marionnettes Du Léman).
Couple d'artiste sur scène comme dans la vie, nous sommes passionnés par l'art vivant plus particulièrement l'art de la marionnette à gaine. Nos différents parcours font de nous deux des artistes complémentaires.
Toutes nos marionnettes sont faites artisanalement, de la sculpture des têtes et des mains en bois de tilleul à la confection des costumes dans des tissus et matières nobles.
Sébastien PETIT (Codirigeant)
Directeur artistique, commercial et marionnettiste.
Sébastien Petit, originally from the Paris region, trained in art very early
timeless Puppets, and especially the character
Lyonnais de Guignol. Always passionate about theater and multimedia shows, since he was 10 years old, he was trained as a puppeteer (Guignoliste) by Mr. Pierre Lefaucheux at the Théâtre des Marionnettes Du Ranelagh in Paris (16th). He discovers the facets of this demanding art by going from the implementation
scene with puppet manipulation. He also learns to
use your voice to bring the different characters to life. Strongly influenced by his mentor, Sébastien Petit continues to perpetuate the tradition of the quality Guignol show with careful staging and invites spectators young and old to take part in fantastic adventures!
