Sandra Iché
Sandra Iché likes to connect, make the link, and organize the encounter between forms and people. It isn't by chance that she cofounded, alongside a dozen “do-it-yourselfers” – using her own words – artist friends, an artistic and philosophical review titled Rodéo, a collective work that asserts its right to simultaneously use analysis and poetry. Sandra Iché embodies and defends this ambition. After studying history and political science, she joined P.A.R.T.S., the dance school founded by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker in Brussels, then the company Maguy Marin, where she was a permanent interpreter from 2006 to 2010. There, she became acquainted with choreographic work in which rhythm designs movement, in which the collisions of signs generate emotion and the political question inevitably springs forth. During all this time, Sandra had many collective adventures, in Beirut, where she cofounded Mansion, a cultural space initiated in collaboration with Ghassan Maasi, and in Lyon, where she contributed to the opening of LIEUES, an experimental research and artistic creation space. On stage, as in all her other fields of activity, Sandra Iché questions the fabrication of history and narratives, makes documents, forms and fictions understood, thereby proposing a dynamic and troubling rereading of our present, an approach that she presents in her play Free Cars, extracted from a long-term project.
