Robin des Bois

Robin des Bois (full title Robin des Bois: Ne renoncez jamais) was a French musical with a stage set by Michel Laprise and lyrics and music by Patrice Guirao and Lionel Florence.
It premiered on 26 September 2013 at the Palais des Congrès de Paris and ran until 5 January 2014.

It was a very large project with about 10 people working on it. Within two months, we managed to produce 6 marionettes based on the characters of the actors who acted in the musical. Five 2D puppets 60 cm high, a mechanical 2D relief of a horse that was supposed to run around, with a fluttering mane and four mannequin structures.
You can watch a movie on YouTube and see how the puppets were created.


I recently had the opportunity to travel to Paris to watch a performance of "Robin des Bois: Ne renoncez jamais" at the prestigious Palais des Congrès de Paris. Seeing the musical unfold on stage was an unforgettable experience. As I watched the scenes come to life, I felt a deep sense of pride in the work we had done. The marionettes, which our dedicated team meticulously crafted, seamlessly blended into the enchanting atmosphere, adding a unique charm and magic to the performance. Witnessing the audience's reactions and their engagement with the characters brought immense satisfaction and joy, reaffirming the value of our hard work and creativity. It was an incredible moment of pride, knowing that our contribution played a part in the success of such a remarkable production.
