"Théâtre du Ratinet Retrospective 1975-2025"

→ exhibition open from 2.45pm to 3.30pm and from 4.30pm to 5.15pm on performance days, until March 2025 

This exhibition traces the history of the Théâtre du Ratinet, an offshoot of the Théâtre de l'Enfance, from its creation in 1975 to the present day. Originally based in the Théâtre Royal de Toone/Koninklijk Poppentheater Toone in the centre of Brussels, two actors, Anne Mauffroy and Claude Valère, left the city centre in 1975 to move to the Ferme Rose in Uccle, taking with them in their suitcases the puppets Bonhommet and Tilapin as well as a new character: a little rat who would come to be known as "Ratinet", from whom the current theatre takes its name.
