FIAMS is a festive event that brings together young and old around the art of puppetry.
FIAMS is also about cultural outreach, demystifying puppetry, and building new audiences among children and adults alike (daycares, students, adults, associations, general audiences).
Founded in 1989, the Festival International des Arts de la Marionnette à Saguenay (FIAMS) is a major biennial event in puppetry theatre, making a significant impact on the development of theatre and puppetry arts for all audiences.
