Louise Hémon
A graduate of the Atelier documentaire at La Fémis, Louise Hémon is developing a practice at the crossroads of cinema, theatre and the visual arts. She is notably the author of a documentary peplum, L'Homme le plus fort (Hot Docs Toronto, FIFIB, diff. ARTE - 2015), a cloak-and-dagger documentary Une vie de château (Festival Hors Pistes, Centre Pompidou, diff. ARTE - 2019), and a choreographic film, Cavern (1st prize at the Braga International Video Dance Festival, Portugal - 2016). Her video art work can be seen at the Centre Pompidou, the Lafayette Anticipations Foundation and the Côté Court Festival. In duo with Émilie Rousset, she wrote and directed the shows Rituel 4: Le Grand Débat (Festival d'Automne à Paris 2018), Les Océanographes (Festival d'Automne à Paris 2021), Rituel 5: La Mort (Talents Adami / Festival d'Automne à Paris 2022). With the support of the CNC, Arte and Canal +, Louise Hémon is currently working on her first feature film, L'Engloutie.

Now it is the turn of Émilie Rousset and Louise Hémon to work with eight young performers as part of the Talents Adami Théâtre scheme, hosted for the tenth year running at the Atelier de Paris. With their habitual brand of humour, they dissect beliefs and representations linked to death, rituals and funeral-related practices.
