After the success of the Company Montalvo Hervieu for the closing event of the 2008 edition, “La Fête” continues from where it had left off, in the midst of a dream, with the Philippe Genty Company!

Philippe Genty is one of the world’s greatest Theatre persons. In 40 years, he has staged his shows across the 5 continents, and in all the world’s biggest countries… or rather, almost all, as he has never been invited to Thailand! “La Fête” gives you the opportunity to discover the amazing world of this unique artiste.

“Lands’ End” is a blend of theatre, dance, music, puppetry and magic. In this refined world that recalls the poetry of Magritte paintings, scenes follow in succession as in a dream. There isn’t just one story, there are thousands, and each spectator has his or her own. Created in 2005 at the Théâtre de Nevers in Burgundy (France), “Lands’ End” has already gone around the world and will be staged for the last time in Bangkok. We thank Philippe Genty and Mary Underwood in advance for the fantastic journey that they offer us, and congratulate the artistes and technicians of the show for their wonderful virtuosity!


The Philippe Genty Company It was in 1961 that Philippe Genty created his first puppet show: “Expédition Alexandre” and imagined his first world tour … in a modest 2CV Citroen car (that was very popular in France). 7 years and 47 countries later, Philippe Genty created the company that bears his name, along with Mary Underwood. He performed at the Olympia and the Casino de Paris with Zizi Jeanmaire and Roland Petit and then toured the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Africa. In 1976, he performed for the first time at the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris before flying to Asia and Oceania. The company participated in the major international festivals: Hong-Kong, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, Wellington, Madrid, Moscow; Broadway and the US in 1981, and China in 1982! In 1992, the company was in Latin America with the famous tour “Cargo 92” along with Royal de Luxe, Philippe Découflé and Mano Negra (Manu Chao). Each show earned international acclaim (in Europe, USA, Asia, India, Middle East…) and also in France: “Dédale” was performed in the Cour d’honneur - the main stage - of the Avignon Festival in 1997. From 1968 to 2004, the company created and performed around 10 shows the world over. In 2005, “Lands’ End” was created. The last show is called “Boliloc”, and was created in 2007. In 2009, for the very first time, we can see a Philippe Genty show in Thailand!
