The artist
Giving voice to character.
Ventriloquist and comedian Marc Métral creates theatrical scenes with his characters. Each has a voice, a temperament and a way of answering back. His vocal precision extends to their glances and movements, giving every exchange its own rhythm and personality.
His international career spans cabaret, theatre and television, including the Moulin Rouge in Paris and collaborations with Jérôme Savary. In 2015, he reached the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent with Miss Wendy, introducing his talking-dog act to a new audience.
Following Bouche cousue, presented at Cirque Phénix Junior in 2007, he continues this theatrical approach in the full-length En cavale !, directed by Viviane Métral. A cast of expressive, unpredictable partners joins him on stage.

Yes. A shorter programme can be selected from Marc’s repertoire. The exact running time, characters and any separate appearances are agreed with his team to suit the event.
Which formats work for an international audience?
Marc’s international cabaret repertoire combines multilingual presentation with visual comedy. His Moulin Rouge act was developed for an international audience, with sequences in five languages.
