Artistic Team
Jacques Jouet - Text
Oulipo (Workshop of Potential Literature) member since 1983. His first contact with Oulipo was a writing workshop convened by Fournel, Georges Perec and Jacques Roubaud in 1978. Poet and novelist, short-story writer, playwright, essayist and plastic artist, Jacques Jouet, along with François Caradec, Paul Fournel and Hervé Le Tellier, participate in the radio show "Papous dans la tête" on France Culture. His series, "La république de Mek Ouyes" was simultaneously aired on France Culture and on his editor, P.O.L.'s website. It is published by P.O.L. at Castor Astral. Two of his last plays were played at the Théâtre des Amandiers, Nanterre and a rich bibliography can be consulted at the Oulipo website.
Anne Bitran - Staging
Actress and puppeteer, with Olivier Vallet co-founder of the Rémouleurs Company in 1983, Anne Bitran creates, manipulates and gives her voice to puppets. Her puppet shows, Peter and the Wolf, Chaosmos, Ginette Guirolle, Adam's Nombril, Lubie, Hulul, Lubie, Machina Memorialis, Nouveau Spectacle Extraordinaire were shown at numerous puppet festivals in France and abroad. Her show “Ginette Guirolle”, bar puppet show, opened the door for her shows towards numerous cultural institutes: several National Theatre Centres (Montpellier La Commune - Aubervilliers, Nanterre-Amandiers, Besançon, Vire, Lille-Le Grand Bleu) and various Scène nationales (national theatres). Her work stands out by the exquisite relationship she builds between music and image. In her shows, music never just accompanies an image, but acts as one of its sources.
Olivier Vallet - Shadow performer, actor, special effect designer (shadows and projections)
Fascinated by light, Olivier Vallet has been working for about ten years on renewing the language of animated image in theatre by applying new ways of expression stemming from ancient projecting techniques.
His inventions were rewarded on three occasions with the "Lumière" Prize at the Louis Jouvet Trophy Ceremony (in 1998 for the concept of an articulated GOBO, in 2000 for the Cyclope, an episcope allowing to project animated images in colour of massive objects, in 2002 for designing a 3D effect projecting system based on soft mirrors).
Beside his contribution to the shows by the Rémouleurs Company, (shadow conception and projection instrument design for Lubie, Hulul, Adam's Nombril, Light for Ginette Guirolle), he participates in various theatre performances centred around light, shadows and projection.
He has also been involved in visual shows, and has designed optical machines for several museums.
Jehanne Carillon - Director's Assistant
Actress and singer, shared training with Elizabeth Chailloux and Adel Hakim, worked with Rene Loyon, Jacques Jouet, Catherine Daste, Christian Germain and Anne Bitran. She was also assistant to Rene Loyon, Stage Director, and is currently directing "Annette entre deux pays" by Jacques Jouet and is directing the reading performance, "Lundis de l’OULIPO" (OULIPO Mondays) ("Ouvroir Potential Literature"/Workshop on Potential Literature) at the Theâtre de Rond-Point, Paris.
Bénédicte Ober - Actress
She takes her first steps as an actress in Marseille with various stage directors (Matthieu Cipriani, Nanouck Broche...) At the same time, in association with another actress and a jazz musician, she is founder of the theatre company called "Je sais bien mais quand même" (I know well but still) based on contemporary texts and producing three workshop-performances. It is with the Rémouleurs Company that she discovers, tries and manipulates puppets. She is fascinated by the distance that puppets allow between the character and the actor and by the sensation of freedom they give. Another fascinating aspect: the music, inseparable from the Rémouleur's approach and from her own personal quest. Beside the three performances in which she has been involved, Adam's Nombril, Hulul and Lubie, she continues working as an actress.
Jeanne Bleuse - Piano
Born on 3 September 1982. She starts piano studies at the Boulogne Conservatory of Music at the age of 6. She follows her training in Toulouse with Véronique Grange. Admitted to Marie-Paule Siruguet's class in September 2000 and is unanimously rewarded with the first prize at the Boulogne Conservatory. She has also worked with Marie-Joseph Jude and Jean-François Heisser. In December 2001, she was invited to play the Double Concerto with violin and strings from J. Haydn with Gilles Colliard, violonist. During the academic year 2002/2003 she follows a one-year proficiency course in Nana Dimitriadi's class at the Georgia Music Conservatory in Tbilissi. In February 2003, she plays the Triple Concerto from Beethoven with her two brothers at the Halle aux Grains in Toulouse. Currently she is working in Denis Pascal's class and in the field of chamber music with Eric Lesage and Paul Meyer at the Paris Conservatory.
Alain Juteau - Scenographer, prop designer
Fascinated by dug up bones, hair, feather, rusted nails, baked leather, furrowed wood and all sorts of other natural materials loaded with life and death since his childhood, Alain Juteau has committed himself to perpetrate an ancestral art, the art of totems and fetishes. He endeavours to extend his presence among us. Designer, manufacturer of accessories for film or theatre, Alain Juteau escapes the constraints and prerequisites of the profession by enhancing his activity in a very inspired production. His world is thereby populated with very strange creatures, coming from a shaman-like pantheon. It is a world tour in a cabin of curiosity taking us back to our origins.
