En Ribambelle!
All Saints' Day vacations
From Sunday, October 18, 2026 to Saturday, October 31, 2026
Young AudiencesThe En Ribambelle ! festival, dedicated to young audiences and the arts of puppetry and object theater, will once again take place at the Mucem during the All Saints’ Day break.
This time, let’s make way for poetry!
Puppets can be giant or tiny, and journeys can be stationary—as long as they create memories to share as a family. Accompanied by Raoul Lala, the famous puppet from Marseille, children set out to discover the most beautiful puppets at the Mucem Conservation and Resource Center (CCR), while tours designed for young visitors allow them to explore the museum’s exhibitions in a whole new way.

The Great Kami
En Ribambelle! Festival
In Japan, the Kami embodies the spirit of fresh water.
During this poetic and interactive performance, he comes to life as a giant rattan puppet, delicately manipulated by three performers. The great Kami wanders across the Place d’Armes at Fort Saint-Jean, where his presence—both benevolent and serene—captivates the audience. His story then unfolds: having become too dry, he has lost his plant essence and seems to be seeking refuge, a return to nature. His gaze shifts between the sea in the distance and the plant life in the Jardin des Migrations....On Friday, Oct 23, 2026

Liteul Pipol
En Ribambelle! Festival
Set in a delicate world populated by mischievous little creatures, this show combines dance and puppetry.
A dancer discovers a miniature world where delicate wooden puppets come to life, stand up, play, and weave a chrysalis of white threads as they await their metamorphosis. The little ones, in turn, become giants and watch as this miniature world comes to life before their eyes. A poetic and heartfelt experience that lets you see the world from a child’s perspective.
