Parler Pointu

Made to be a studio of creative collaboration, a crossroads of confluence, Studio21 put the actor-creator at the center of the research process. Hélène François creates original collaborative scenic forms resulting from an upstream writing work and its confrontation on stage.
The goal of Studio21 is to bring together a community of viewers in a room and elicit feelings of unity through its creation, resulting in joyful shows that aim to reopen the public's intimate and political perception.

In 2021, Hélène François founded her company Studio21. She imagines with Thomas Poitevin, small videos on instagram to extend the work initiated on their previous show: Les perruques de Thomas. The videos resonate with the general public and the national scene of Sénart invites them to work on a new creation. Together they create Thomas joue ses perruques. In 2022, she began research with Benjamin Tholozan around regional accents and languages. They created Parler Pointu at the Sorano theatre in 2023. Under the impulse of Damien Godet, Hélène François met the poet Marc Blanchet in 2023 and together imagined a show/performance around her life as a poet and contemporary poetry. Une vraie vie de poète will be created in November 2024 at the national stage of Bayonne.
