Animal Architecte

Camille Dagen and Emma Depoid founded the Animal Architecte structure as a duo in 2018. One is a director, author and actor (outside the structure), while the other is a set designer. Both met at the TNS school in Strasbourg. Theater and performance are the initial but not exclusive core of Animal Architecte. Their creations reflect a strong interest in material from non-theatrical fields: photography, architecture, dance, philosophy, history and music criticism. The way the shows are developed alternates between collective research with the whole team and development time in pairs. The result is a close dialogue between textual writing and scenographic creation, leading to lively, moving sets charged with thought and emotion.
