Jeanne Candel
Director and actress Jeanne Candel founded the company la vie brève in 2009. Collective writing is at the heart of her creations (notably Robert Plankett in 2010; Le Crocodile trompeur / Didon et Enée, co-directed with Samuel Achache, in 2013; BAÙBO – de l’art de n’être pas mort in 2023), in which actresses, singers, musicians, costume designers, and scenographers are considered creators in their own right. She is particularly interested in the intertwining of music and theatre. Since 2019, la vie brève has been at the head of the Théâtre de l’Aquarium at La Cartoucherie, in Paris.
