Artistic collaborations

Greek director and actress, she created her company VASISTAS in 2005 in Marseille. Since then, the company has based itself in Athens but continues to trace this double route between the two cities. His artistic approach is part of a logic of continuous research around a form of scenic act in a constant dialogue with our present. She works a lot on chorality and musicality and orchestrates in detail musical choreographies whose main subject is often the man and his existence in a specific social framework. She has a professional Master 2 “Dramaturgy and scenic writing” – staging field at the University of Provence (2004-2006). She did her higher school of dramatic art in Athens (‘Morfes Theatrical Organization’, at the Embros theater 1996-2000). The company VASISTAS has obtained for distinction the honor of young creators by the Association of Greek Theater and Music Critics. Argyro Chioti obtained in 2013 the “Eleftheria Sapountzi” prize for his artistic work.

Before going to the theater, she toured for many years with the Cirque Bidon. She trained at the Ecole de la rue blanche, then at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris, from which she left in 1998. She worked in the theater with: François Wastiaux (Paparazzi), Michel Didym (Le langue à langue des dogs de roche), Jacques Bonnafé (Comme des patients), Julie Bérès (Powder), Victor Gauthier-Martin (Ambulance, cooking, elsewhere nearby), Gildas Milin (Anthropozoo), Julie Brochen (Hanjo, Uncle Vania, Penthesilée), Daniel Jeanneteau and Marie-Christine Soma (Feux, Adam et Eve), patrice Chéreau (Elektra), Julien Fisera (Belgrade), Claire Lasne-Darcueil (Désir de théâtre, Les trois Soœurs de Tchekhov). She is also hired as a dancer by Caroline Marcadé (Terres d’ailes, The night of the child pebbles). She has recorded numerous dramas and readings for France-culture, with: Claude Guerre, Xavier Carrère, André Welter, Marguerite Gateau, Juliette Heymann … She has staged two shows by Jeanne Mordoj: Adieu poupée and La poème. She was an outsider of the show Kabuki behind the door by Gaël Baron in 2015, Le Nouveau Monde by Gilles Cailleau in 2017. She currently plays in the show Scènes de violences conjugales by Gérard Watkins.

Percussionist, improviser and composer, Sylvain Darrifourcq (born in 1979) apprenticed as a classical percussionist. He opted late for drums, discovered rock, jazz and improvised music. A recognized figure in this generation of improvisers curious about borders, he is a highly sought-after musician. He has collaborated with many French European and American personalities such as Joëlle Léandre, Tony Malaby, Michel Portal, Louis Sclavis, Marc Ducret, Andrea Parkins, Aksoh S, Kit Downes … In 2009, he obtained a “Victoire du Jazz” with the Emile Parisien Quartet, of which he was the drummer for more than 10 years. Over the course of human and musical encounters, his attraction to current forms of creation became clearer and prompted him to create his own festival in the company of singer / double bass player Elise Dabrowski: the DA festival. Passionate about questions of time, space and rupture in music, he now creates a very personal language, built around the notions of “poly-speed” and “physicality”. His research leads him to collaborate with choreographers / dancers, videographers and scenographers. In addition to his own MILESDAVISQUINTET !, IN LOVE WITH and TENDIMITE projects, he works closely with the composer Guillaume Hermen, whose works he regularly creates (LE PANTIN, DANS L’ENTRE with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, conducted by Pierre André Valade).

Saxophonist and clarinetist born in France, Robin Fincker lived more than 10 years in London and now divides his time between the British and French scenes. He studied the clarinet at the Montpellier Conservatory and then Jazz at the Guildhall School of Music (London) and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris (CNSM). Instigator of insatiable project and requested sideman, his career is in the image of his taste for new experiences as well as his desire to freely draw from a musical universe with open styles where jazz meets improvised music, electroacoustic music and current music.

Christophe Loiseau has alternated for twenty five years photographic projects commissioned by institutions, theaters, communities and the work of videographer. In 2000, he produced his first “portrait stories”. He has since multiplied his experiences in very diverse social fields. In 2017, he began a new series at the high security prison in Arles. This series of images will be exhibited at the Rencontres de la photographie in Arles, then in many countries. He regularly collaborates with theater companies, which has allowed him to meet many artists who have influenced his practice of portraiture, a recurring theme in his work. Born in Charleville-Mézières, France. Lives in Lille and works in France and Europe.
