The French large-scale puppetry performance, "Fables of La Fontaine," was staged from May 6 to 8 in Changsha, Hunan Province, sparking enthusiastic acclaim from the audience. Presented by the French street theater group Archibald Caramantran, the show was a showcase of French culture that captivated spectators with its unique presentation style and classic storylines. Through forms such as giant puppets, circus acts, and aerial dances, the actors vividly portrayed the classic fables by French writer La Fontaine, creating an atmosphere that was both fantastical and humorous, brimming with interactivity.

This performance has not only served as a cultural feast but also marked a significant opportunity for Sino-French cultural exchange. This cross-cultural performance not only provided audiences with sensory enjoyment but also injected fresh impetus into the development of friendly relations between China and France.
