CLAIRE PASQUIER

Since 2009 she works with directors such as David Marton, Francesco Micheli and Tobias Kratzer, as well as with FC Bergman company, all around Europe. She founded the company CollectifMeute in 2019 in Lille (France) in order to build bridges between alternative forms of opera and the public. CollectifMeute thinks the creation process itself as a militant and mediation gesture: it builds a complex ecosystem of partners, from cultural, education, medical and social fields and renews the narratives of classical repertoire. With CollectifMeute, Claire conceived and staged Furieux, a participatory lyrical performance inspired by the story of Dionysos. This long-term project with more than 200 inhabitants in three countries addresses the necessity of collectively inhabit the stage and experiment a co-creation process with artists and citizens. She is cur- rently staging Panoptique, an electro-lyric immersive performance based on Schubert’s Winterreise. Its dramaturgical and musical research around confinement, developed with participants in jail and psychiatric hospitals, won the 2022 Fedora Education Prize.
