Benjamin Porée
After training as an actor at the cours Florent, Benjamin Porée founds in 2009 the company La Musicienne du silence. If he borrowed that name from Stéphane Mallarmé, it is the words of Arthur Rimbaud he first brings to the stage for his first show, A Season in Hell, performed by Matthieu Dessertine in 2006, and later by others. When he then decides to turn to a dramatic text, it is Jean Racine's Andromaque, directing it at the Théâtre de Vanves, of which he becomes a partner in 2012. There, he brings together a troupe of actors who went through the cours Florent to create Anton Chekhov's Platonov in 2012, which later played at the Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe in 2014. With them, he also creates a choreographed duo, Sublime ou Rien (Sublime or Nothing), then, at the Loge de Paris, a play by Marius von Mayenburg for five characters, Parasites, and a solo with Edith Proust, Georges.Since 2015, Benjamin Porée has been a partner of the Gémeaux Scène nationale de Sceaux. Borrowing effects of tightening of the frame or of stretching of time from the cinema, Benjamin Porée aims to make the theatre a place where the inner selves of the actors meet those of the audience.
