Partners

The company receives support from the Ministry of Culture – DRAC Île-de-France, the Île-de-France Region and the Val-de-Marne Department (94) through multi-year funding agreements.

For the 2025–2026 season, Christian and François Ben Aïm are resident artists at La Maison des Arts de Créteil.

The company is accredited by the Civic Service Agency, enabling it to host one volunteer each year.

Over 20 years of residency and experience in the field. Christian and François BEN AÏM’s career has been made possible over the years thanks to the support and loyalty of numerous venues, including state-subsidised theatres: the Théâtre de La Madeleine – a state-subsidised theatre of national interest in Troyes, where they were associate artists for six years (2006–2012), as well as national theatres and national choreographic centres.

Following their various residencies at Micadanses Paris (2004–2006), the Scène nationale d’Aubusson (2006), and the Théâtre Louis Aragon in Tremblay-en-France – a state-subsidised theatre of national interest – Art and Creation – dance (2007–2008), at Espace 1789 in Saint-Ouen – a state-subsidised theatre of national interest – Art and Creation (2011–2012), and at the Théâtre de Rungis (2012–2016), they were associate artists at the Théâtre de Châtillon (2016–2019) and at the Centre des Bords de Marne in Le Perreux-sur-Marne – A theatre with a national subsidy – Art and creation – large-scale music and dance productions (2016–2019).

Openness. This is what characterises the company’s journey: intimate solos that evolve into large-scale productions, a physical style that embraces the intersection of the arts, and encounters that give rise to collaborations – some twenty productions in total, rooted as much in community-based work as they are in international touring: Luxembourg, Germany, Canada, Algeria, Belgium, Gabon, Italy, Brazil, India… Driven by aspirations that are constantly renewed when it comes to crossing borders, both artistic and geographical.

Several projects are supported by the French cultural network abroad: the Instituts français and the Alliances françaises.
