La Mauvaise Graine Theater Company

La Mauvaise Graine Theatre Company is registered in the DRAC (regional direction of cultural affairs) and the Region Ile-de-France.

From January 2005 to June 2008, it had a partnership with the Comédie de Reims (a French dramatic center) managed by Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota, and with the Théâtre de Saint Quentin en Yvelines (another French dramatic center) in the framework of the project of the new manager of the theater company, Jacques Pornon. This latter partnership is still going on this year.

The pleasure of playing and the research of meaning are at the heart of its creations. The Company also works a lot on raising awareness of people for who going to the theatre is not natural.

“I am working on plays which maintain the audience active.

By surprising, intriguing the audience, I want to share my questions about our world, our desires, our lives and our contradictions. As Socrates used to do, I am trying to make us think about together rather than giving easy answers.

I like poets and modern authors even if I also like directing classical plays of the world repertoire.

I am convinced that theatre plays an important role in the city as Pier Paolo Pasolini says: “Human is only aware of the reality when he represented it. And nothing has ever represented the reality better than the theatre.”
