Alice Laloy

A graduate of the Théâtre National de Strasbourg in 2001, Alice Laloy is a set and costume designer. In 2002, she founded the Compagnie s'Appelle Reviens and has worked in theatre and opera with a number of directors, including Lukas Hemleb, Catherine Anne and Michelle Foucher. Between 2002 and 2008, she worked with a number of theatre and opera directors, creating landmark works such as D'états de femmes (2004) and Moderato (2006). In 2009, she won the Molière for the best show for young audiences for her creation 86 centimètres, and in 2011, her show Y es-tu? was included in the selection of shows for young audiences nominated for the Molières. In 2012, she created Batailles et Rebatailles, which won an award from the Institut International de la Marionnette. In 2015, she created Sous ma peau/Sfu.ma.to and Tempo.

Invited by Fabrice Melquiot, she created Ça dada in 2017. That same year, she began a photographic research project that took her as far as Mongolia. The project, called Pinocchio(s), formed an exhibition presented in France and abroad (Quebec, Sweden). She then developed a stage version based on the photographic work, including child dancers and young adult actor-manipulators. The first version of this creation, Pinocchio(live)#1, was created for the opening of the Biennale Internationale des Arts de la Marionnette in Paris in May 2019. In July 2021, she will create Pinocchio(live)#2 at the Festival d'Avignon, a second version of the performance, followed in 2023 by a third version with new performers. Alice Laloy has been associated with the T2G - CDN de Gennevilliers and the Théâtre de l'Union in Limoges since 2022.
