About the compagny

À demain mon amour is a contemporary puppet theater company created in January 2022 in Bayeux. It brings together three artists who met at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts de la Marionnette in Charleville-Mézières: Mila Baleva, Pierre Tual and Guillaume Hunout.

In their creations poetic and political spaces are deployed, where the individual seeks his place in the world by relying on his connection to emotions, the imagination and the sensitive. The pieces are written at the crossroads of different artistic languages: theater, visual arts, writing, movement. Sometimes purely visual and without words, they frequently rely on texts by contemporary authors, during writing commissions or through writing on set. They can be aimed at different audiences: children, adolescents, adults, very young children or very elderly people. They are performed almost everywhere in France and internationally, in theaters on large stages as well as in other more surprising places in close proximity to the spectators.

The company is deeply rooted in its local community, where it develops arts and cultural education projects with numerous partners. Since its inception, the company has forged a special partnership with Le Sablier – Centre National de la Marionnette in Ifs and collaborates regularly with Le Trident – Scène Nationale in Cherbourg. It was an associate company at La Halle ô grains in Bayeux from September 2022 to December 2023. À demain mon amour is a partner company of the Théâtre Roger Ferdinand in Saint-Lô from September 2024 to June 2027.
