Philippe Genty is one of the worlds greatest Theatre persons. In 40 years, he has staged his shows across the 5 continents, and in all the worlds biggest countries. Philippe Genty’s theatre is a blend of 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 isnt just one story, there are thousands, and each spectator has his or her own. 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.
