Philippe Ménard
Coming from the world of juggling, a performer for Jérôme Thomas for many years, since 1998, Philippe Ménard has been developing, in her Compagnie Non Nova, an unusual universe that talks about today's world. In 2008, she started on her 10th creation, a work of research on the subject called I.C.E. for "Injonglabilité Complémentaire des Éléments" ("Complementary Unjugglability of Elements"). She explores limits by manipulating ice in all its forms, water, steam and air. A transgender artist, her artistic research is closely linked with her personal reflection on identity, on which she is working with the poet Anne-James Chaton.
