Following her artistic training in Paris, New York and Montreal (UQAM, Bacc Danse 2012), Anne-Flore de Rochambeau is developing her practice as a performer and choreographer in Montreal. Her choreographic research is strongly influenced by her Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics and Social Sciences and focuses on the development of a sensitive gesture that architects space in the image of our social behaviors. In 2013, she began the development of a choreographic triptych inspired by fluid dynamics, the different parts of which were presented in several festivals such as Quartiers Danses and Zone Homa (Montreal), Accès Danse (Châteauguay), as well as Dance Matters (Toronto) and Auteurs de Troubles (France).

At a time when the performative and provocative spectacle is in effervescence, Anne-Flore inhabits the space of a refined aesthetic where the bodies embody an organic and intuitive language. Exploring the intimate relationship between the individual and his or her environment, she develops a body language that reflects the unconscious mechanisms that characterize our interactions. In 2015, a first meeting took place with Christian & François Ben Aïm in Cayenne around the creation of the duet Dévore-moi, il n’y a rien à craindre, commissioned by Touka Danse – CDC Guyane.

These different facets are reflected in his music: to accompany his songs, which navigate between folk and blues, he sings in English, French and Italian dialects. His compositions have the air of travelogues, at the same time turned towards oneself and towards the outside world. We find this characteristic in I dreamed an island, an opus published in 2016. Always far from fashion and out of time, Piers Faccini is as comfortable in a Neapolitan lament of the eighteenth century as in a blues of New Orleans or a melancholic folk, collaborating with artists as diverse as Vincent Ségal, Dawn Landes, Rokia Traoré, Ben Harper, Ballaké Sissoko, Camille or Ibrahim Maalouf. The Italian-British songwriter is above all the citizen of his own imagination. In 2019, Piers Faccini created Arise with Christian and François Ben Aïm at the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. He develops a sober and bewitching music, mixing guitar-voice ballads, piano, organ, strings or wind instruments. Tinged with a radiant tone that nevertheless has its share of shadows, it finds an echo in the sacred, the mansuetude. His voice is his favorite instrument. It accompanies the piece by its color and its simplicity.

Percussionist, multi-instrumentalist and singer, Bruno Ferrier began by learning percussion: he learned drums and tablas with the Indian master Rashmi Batt, and African percussion during workshops with Mama Kouyaté. In 1998, he enters the Pro musica school, for a 2 years training in classical singing, and trains in parallel to jazz singing, during training courses with Michelle Hendricks, Thierry Péala or André Minvielle. He explored polyphonic singing on his own and continued his training in vocal jazz singing and improvisation at the Institution Art Culture Perception in Paris. Following this training, Bruno Ferrier will never cease to open his practice to a variety of universes. Between 1991 and 2008, he collaborates as a singer in the realization of several albums and tours of groups with worldjazz, rock, or oriental formations: he covers jazz standards with the Boogie Night Orchestra accompanied by a double bass player; he is the singer on the album Kalashnik Love of the group Speed Caravan, a formation mixing rock, Arabo-Andalusian music, chaâbi and electronic music; he collaborates with Pososhok, a group mixing South African sounds with those of the rest of Africa; on the album Ping Kong with the group DuOud, it is accompanied by the oriental lute, the oud, that he launches into amazing vocal improvisations. In 2010, he meets Christian and François Ben Aïm and collaborates as a singer and percussionist in the piece L’ogresse des archives et son chien (2011), then La légèreté des tempêtes (2014).

Lili Gautier began playing the cello in Valence at a very early age and quickly felt the desire to communicate through this warm instrument so close to the human voice. After five years of study at the Conservatoire National de Lyon, she continued her training for four years with Lluis Claret, whom she followed at the Scola Musica in Barcelona, and at the CNR in Toulouse between 1994 and 1997. The cello, with all its possibilities, is a tool that allows her to approach a very broad repertoire without restriction. During her career, she has played in several orchestral groups: the National Orchestra of Lyon, the National Orchestra of Capitole in Toulouse, the National Orchestra of Bayonne Côte Basque and the National Orchestra of Bordeaux Aquitaine. She is also principal cellist since 2007 in the Ensemble Orchestral de Bordeaux. Internationally, she is co-soloist in 2008 and 2009 at the Royal Opera of Stockolm. Holder of a state diploma since 1997, she now divides her time between teaching and performing as a soloist, chamber musician or within orchestral groups. She joined the company of Christian and François Ben Aïm in 2014 for their piece La légèreté des tempêtes.

Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse, Thomas Lavoine, a French pianist who oscillates between Paris and Berlin, performs, composes and improvises, guided by a desire to share music and an ambition for excellence.
A student of Jean-François Zygel’s and Thierry Escaich’s improvisation class, he is experienced in choreographic accompaniment and writing/composition.

For the company, he played a coordinating role, with musicians (Quatuor Voce) and dancers (Compagnie Ben Aïm), for the score/technicians/choreography, around the piece Burn rebellious hearts, on a music by Ibrahim Maalouf.

General and artistic director of Césaré – Centre national de création musicale in Reims, Philippe Le Goff is also a teacher at the ESAD in Reims (Ecole Supérieure d’Art et de Design) and at the INALCO in Paris (Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales). His career as a composer and sound artist is inseparable from his history with the Great North, a land of predilection that he has travelled regularly for over 20 years. His work, for a long time inhabited by the voice and the sound landscape, has been constantly fed by a reflection on orality and language, which raises the permanent question of contextualization and the concern for transmission. Since 2002, he has been developing a cycle entitled “Nature Blues”, a look in the mirror of man and nature, which is the result of this approach. In 2012 he composed a musical creation for L’orée des visages, a joint project of Christian and François Ben Aïm with the company Pseudonymo.

Olivier Lété started playing electric bass at the age of 16 and then began studying classical double bass at the Nîmes Conservatory, where he obtained a vermeil medal in 2001. The following year, at the age of 23, he was hired by Claude Barthélémy to play in the National Jazz Orchestra. He gradually made the artistic choice to devote himself exclusively to the electric bass. His first experience as a leader and composer was the creation in 2003 of 500mg. In 2005, Maxime Delpierre invited him to join the Slang Collective. 
The same year, he creates with Philippe Lemoine and Eric Groleau their trio Le Maigre Feu de la Nonne en Hiver and records the eponymous album. The group’s music continues today with Mélodramatic French Songs, an instrumental program reappropriating French songs. In 2007, Olivier Lété worked with Emmanuelle Laborit and the Hall de la Chanson to compose the music for L’inouïe Music Hall with Christian Lété and Claude Barthélémy. He is interested in the interaction between text and music, which he shares with Dominique Pifarély, and collaborates on several projects: Après la Révolution (2008), then Indiens Nouveaux (2009). Between 2009 and 2012, he is the bassist of Louis Sclavis in Lost on the Way and also plays with Michel Godard in A Trace of Grace. Since 2012, he participates in La face Cachée de la Lune, a show by Thierry Balasse that reproduces the mythical album of Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon. Olivier Lété performs solo in his project TUNING. He is also the accomplice of many artists such as: Vincent Courtois, Emmanuel Scarpa, Philippe Lemoine, Olivier Benoît, Christian Lété, Jean Luc Landsweerdt, Antoine Berjeaut, Thomas De Pourquery, Antonin Leymarie, Julien Padovani, Didier Ashour…

In 2014, Ibrahim Maalouf received for his album “Illusions” a Victoire de la musique in the category Best World Music Album and the Sacem Grand Prix in the jazz category. This is the first time in 29 years that the Victoires de la Musique awards a project that is solely instrumental and is a revelation for the general public who only knew Ibrahim through his collaborations (Amadou and Mariam, Vincent Delerm, Sting, Matthieu Chédid, Salif Keita, Lhasa de Sela) to name a few. The year 2014 was a year of awards in many ways. Beyond the Victoire de la musique, the Ministry of Culture and Communication named Ibrahim Maalouf Chevalier de l’ordre des arts et des lettres. At the end of 2014, Ibrahim Maalouf was awarded the Grand Prix Sacem in the Grand Prix du Jazz category. And, in November 2014, Ibrahim Maalouf had the honor of chairing the committee of experts for the 1st edition of the Culture for Peace Prize, set up by The Fondation Chirac and the Culture & Diversity Foundation. The same year, he finally realized two dreams: to compose for the cinema with the soundtrack of Yves Saint-Laurent directed by Jalil Lespert, and that of La Crème de la Crème directed by Kim Chapiron, but also to compose and produce the albums of other artists, Funambule for Grand Corps Malade and Something came with the sun for Isabel Sörling. Ibrahim has performed at a sold-out Olympia and at all the major jazz festivals, while topping the jazz album sales charts in France. In 2017, through his alliance of opposing energies, his music resonates with Christian and François Ben Aïm’s questioning of insubordination in Brûlent, nos cœurs insoumis. Ibrahim Maalouf’s compositions proceed by strata of different time lines, like strata of dreams, memories, and atmospheres that slip from one thread to another. The music thus oscillates between multiple energies and colors. Like the dance of the Ben Aïm brothers, it seeks to suggest, to disturb rather than to expose in a univocal way.

A classically trained musician, inhabited by the spirit of improvisation and creation, avid for encounters, Jean-Marie Machado has shown a marked taste for unusual orchestral formations. He has developed an original writing style, sometimes erudite but always guided by a concern for lyricism. He likes to define himself as a composer of today, concerned with diverse horizons, openness and exchange.

In his various projects, one can feel the multiplicity of his cultural heritage: born in Morocco, of an Italian and Spanish mother and a Portuguese father, he studied the piano with the great concert artist Catherine Collard. He then discovered jazz and improvisation and played alongside the greatest European and American jazzmen (Dave Liebman, Andy Sheppard, Paolo Fresu) and shared traditional and world music with the great Brazilian percussionist, Nana Vasconcelos.

Jean-Marie Machado founded the Danzas Orchestra in 2007, which has been presenting different programs for several years, to date 5: L’Amour Sorcier, Pictures for Orchestra, La Fête à Boby, Lagrima Latina, Fiesta nocturna. At the same time, he plays in duo with the accordionist Didier Ithursarry (Palmarès live du Bureau Export 2017-2018), he creates a percussion orchestra (Impulse Songs), a piece for symphonic orchestra L’esprit de l’eau (creation with the ONDIF in September 2017 at the Centre des Bords de Marne) and a solo piano project with a sound sculpture created by Alain Français (Immersons). Composer associated with the CdbM, he met Christian and François Ben Aïm, the starting point of the performative adventure Vibrations.

Born in 1965, he studied with Jacques Bonnardel, Michel Sardaby, Keith Copeland, and attended workshops with Kenny Barron, David Liebman, Richie Beirach, John Abercrombie and many others. He then played with many musicians including Barney Wilen, Joe Lovano, Henri Texier, Joachim Kühn, Kenny Wheeler, Michel Portal, Géraldine Laurent, Andy Sheppard, Louis Sclavis, Steve Swallow, Enrico Rava. In 1993, he founded his own trio with Sébastien Texier and Olivier Sens. He has performed at most of the major jazz festivals in France and Europe and has played in many countries abroad. He also participated in the recording of film music for Bertrand Tavernier. A drummer marked by the jazz tradition while having wanted and succeeded in freeing himself from it, Christophe Marguet has made a rare and coherent journey as a musician, managing to evolve seamlessly from his initial interest in bebop to improvised music. Recognized as a colorist drummer, he has asserted himself as a clear-sighted composer and leader, attentive to space and silence, participating in a new generation of French jazzmen who are questioning the virtues of improvisation and the relationship it can have with writing.

Self-taught author, composer, performer and sound engineer for live performance, Patrick De Oliveira has been developing dreamlike, poetic compositions for several years. His music is a blend of electronic, acoustic and organic sounds, at the service of the body and words. For him, every body in movement or in everyday life, every vocal range contains a musicality, an emotion that he likes to translate into his compositions. He composes and imagines his musical works using a variety of electronic and acoustic instruments, as well as microphonic recordings and the manipulation of concrete sounds on different media. In his creations, he likes to bring different worlds together to create a singular musical syncretism evocative of contemporary society.

For theater, he has composed for several plays by Arnaud Meunier, Riad Gahmi, Matthieu Cruciani, Elsa Imbert, Pauline Laidet, Parelle Gervasoni… Alongside actors such as Rachida Brakni, Philippe Torreton, Éric Cantona, Anne Brochet, Vincent Garanger and others…

For dance, he collaborates with Souhail Marchiche and Mehdi Meghari’s Cie Dyptik, Mellina Boubetra’s Cie Etra, Jann Gallois’ Cie Burn out, Fabrice Lambert’s Harmaat Experience…

He also composes music for advertising videos (Nike, Isko, Marithe et François Girbaud, Hôtel Flanelles Paris, Métier London…).

Patrick de Oliveira also decided to move into writing and directing choreographic and theatrical works, co-founding the Cie Sans Lettres (Le dernier qui s’en souvienne; Cette(7)voi(es)x; Et le mur fut ma porte; L’Embellie).

After training at the CIM (Centre d’Information Musicale), a jazz and contemporary music school, Jean-Baptiste Sabiani studied for five years at the American School of Modern Music in Paris, from 1990 to 1995, specializing in piano. During his career, he has produced compositions, arrangements and recordings in the fields of jazz, theater and cinema. Until 1998, he practiced composition and arrangement in jazz while devoting himself to the accompaniment of artists of the new French song (Mathieu Boogaerts, Dani, Alain Chamfort…). In 1998, he trained in composition and classical orchestration. In 2009 he collaborates with the choreographer Julie Trouverie for the musical creations of her pieces Mysterious skin and Au loup ! A tale of young girls in mist. It was during this first entry into choreographic creation that he met Christian and François Ben Aïm, and composed the music for their piece Résistance au droit (2010). Thereafter, he composed and/or arranged the musical creations of the pieces Valse en trois temps (2010), L’ogresse des archives et son chien (2011), La forêt ébouriffée (2013), Karma (2013). In 2014, for La légèreté des tempêtes, the choreographers commissioned him to create the music before the rehearsals. This approach gives him the opportunity to let his imagination run wild and to fully grasp the theme. In the theater, he composed, recorded and arranged the show Adèle a ses raisons and Dis leur que la vérité est belle by Jacques Hadjaj. In the cinematographic field, he composed, recorded and arranged the film La Troisième partie du monde by Eric Forestier (2009, fiction), Les Bonobos by Alain Tixier (2010, fiction), La Révélation des pyramides by Patrice Pouillard (2011, fiction), and composed the additional music for the film Zim & code by Pierre Jolivet (2005, fiction), as well as the musical creations for several short films.

Emmanuel Scarpa, drummer and composer, started playing drums in a punk-rock band as a self-taught musician. His career is marked by classical writing studies (gold medals in harmony, counterpoint and fugue), completed by an assiduous practice of improvisation in the most varied contexts, which pushes him to multiply musical and interdisciplinary meetings. Drums, composition and improvisation have become inseparable practices that for twenty years have helped him to realize his own projects such as Umlaut, Les Métamorphoses, Umlaut Double Trio, Dual Ritual and Invisible Worlds. Solicited by François Raulin, Marc Ducret and Ellery Eskelin, Emmanuel Scarpa currently plays with the groups Marteau Matraque, SkullTone, Radiation 10, L’Ensemble Op.Cit, La Forge and 21. Some of his compositions have been commissioned by institutions or ensembles such as the Quatuor Béla, Radio France, L’Ensemble Op.Cit and the French Ministry of Culture.

Composer, performer, Malik Soarès started music as a self-taught. He entered the world of theater and dance in 2003, with the author and director Lilian Lloyd. He works with the choreographer Hamid Ben Mahi in various events and continues with the theater companies Solentiname and L’oeil brun. In 2007, he begins his collaboration with the choreographers Christian and François Ben Aïm for the show You’re a bird now! and participates since then in various events of the company. In 2011, he created his first musical creation Ce(ux) que nous sommes…, bringing together different artistic disciplines around the issues of exclusion and becoming. He is preparing for the 2013-2014 season his first album, with his band Red Castle.

First Prize in cello and chamber music at the CNSMDP, Mathilde Sternat completed her studies with a post-graduate course in chamber music. Invited as a solo cellist to the Montpellier Symphony Orchestra and the Concerts Pasdeloup, she also participated in numerous concerts with the Salzburg Chamber Orchestra. As an eclectic musician, she also accompanies variety artists on stage (Bruel, Elodie Frégé, Nolwen Leroy, Voulzy…) and participates in the recording of their albums. In 2004, Mathilde Sternat founded with Anne Gravoin the Travelling Quartet in which the four classically trained musicians revisit the Beatles’ repertoire. She joined Christian and François Ben Aïm in 2010 for the play L’Ogresse des archives et son chien (2011) and recently for their 2014 creation La légèreté des tempêtes.

Geoffroy Tamisier is one of the most talented trumpet players in France, with a sound and phrasing worthy of the greatest. He was born in Nantes, France in 1973. After his studies at the Conservatoire de Nantes (cornet, trumpet, musical training, chamber music, as well as the writing diploma), he entered the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et Danse de Paris, and received in 1997 a unanimous First Prize in the jazz class of François Jeanneau. That same year, at the Concours National de Jazz de La Défense, he won the composition prize for his work with the Jazzophone Quartet. He founded his own group the following year, OLH Acoustic, which won the La Défense Competition and the Tremplin Jazz d’Avignon, and which recorded Une vie sans lune (2000) and G Meets K – with Kenny Wheeler – (2002) for the Yolk label.

Trained at the CFPTS (Bagnolet) in lighting management, after a diploma of theatrical studies at Paris 3-Censier, Pierre Galais collaborates 10 years with Serge de Laubier, electro-acoustician of the Studios Puce Muse (technical direction and lighting creation). Since then, he has created lighting and/or video for several companies: in music with Juliet et Moi, Pense-Bete and in several operettas; in dance with the companies Retouramont (general management and lighting and video creation), Antoine Le Ménestrel, Merlin Nyakam and Isabelle Magnin; in theater with Josanne Rousseau, Odile Roire and Jade Duviquet.

For the past fifteen years, Maud Heintz has alternated between creation, clothing and apparel in order to play with the diversity of her activity. A Métiers d’Arts graduate specializing in historical and contemporary made-to-measure costumes, she has worked for the dancers of the Paris Conservatory, the Paco Decinà company, Juliette Deschamps’ company, the Royal Opera of Versailles, the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Cabaret Bobin’O, the Opera Comique, and the Cirque Invisible. Her meeting with the Thierrée family was a determining factor in her approach to creation; from this collaboration with Victoria Chaplin, a true artistic revelation was born. In addition, Maud Heintz works occasionally on film shoots, notably for the movies Taken, Sherlock Holmes II, Jappeloup, A cause des filles, The 355… but also in museography with La Cinémathèque Française, Jean Baptiste Thiérrée, Carmen Lucini, and the Chanel heritage department. The plurality of her sources of inspiration is a fundamental stake in order to offer some signs, some guidelines, some material to dream about.

Graduated from the “CFPTS of Bagnolet” in 2011 and training as a stage manager for live performances, Stéphane made his debut with the Théâtre du rivage company of Pascale-Danielle Lacombe, with the shows Mongol and Comme du sable, for which he was in charge of stage management.

At the Théâtre de la cité internationale, he met the set designer Nadia Lauro, who introduced him to the world of contemporary dance, touring with Baron Samedi by Allain Buffard, and Adieu et merci by Latifa Laâbissi. Since 2013 he has been working on the creations of ARCAL (national company of lyrical creation), of which he has been the technical director since 2018.

He collaborates with the company Christian & François Ben Aïm since 2019, ensuring the general management of Burn, rebellious hearts, of The Ogress of the Archives and her dog, as well as JESTS.

Bryan is a Lighting Manager since 2011 for the Café de la danse in Bastille and for the espace 1789 in Saint-Ouen.

Hervé Le Dorlot is originally from Vannes in the Morbihan. He splits his activity between music, sound and general management. He was a guitarist in various rock bands (including Dominic Sonic from Rennes), then composer and arranger with Bertrand Betsch. Currently on tour with the project [e.pok] of the singer Ignatus. He designs the sound ambiance of dance and theater pieces (in 2017, Berlin 33 by René Loyon) and composes music for the image (in 2017, L’Exilé du Temps by Isabelle Putod). He has composed music for concerts and events in various cultural venues in Paris (Musée d’Orsay, Musée du Quai Branly, Centre G. Pompidou Center, the National Library of France). He is also general manager (Musée d’Orsay, Théâtre de Châtillon, Ircam, Les Rencontres Internationales de l’Aria en Corse).

Trained at the University of Lyon II and at ARFIS, Guillaume Marmin designs audiovisual devices. His work is part of a renewal of visual creation by freeing himself from the classical forms of narration and traditional scenic supports. Influenced by experimental directors such as Len Lye or Stan Brakhage, Guillaume Marmin is looking for a common language between images and sounds, a synesthetic alphabet made of rhythms, contrasts and pure figures in motion. In order to offer new supports to this new language, Guillaume Marmin tries to forget the screen to experiment on all types of surfaces: mapping on 3D sculptures and buildings, projection on photographs and silkscreens, moving bodies or smoke… His immersive works and his installations in public spaces are the opportunity to collaborate with architects, scenographers, musicians and lighting technicians.
By coordinating the play of light that evokes radiation and magnetism, with discrete noises and signals (clicks, cracks, clacks, vibrations), he creates a universe where abstract purity is associated with a geometry that generates images that are both complex and fundamental. His works give substance to the intangible, making us fleetingly touch the beauty of the invisible and the mathematical foundation of reality.

Despite the use of tools that appear to be technologically advanced and the intervention of digital media, his work reveals a desire not to evacuate the real. Whether it is about the earth (Around the Island), climatic phenomena (Après-nous le déluge), architecture (Raster), or the history of physics and its paradigms (Timée), Guillaume Marmin illustrates the ambivalence maintained by our era in its relationship between nature and technology. Around the Island, Timée, Raster… so many pieces that avoid the pitfall of an art entirely turned towards the “digital” and the virtual. As refined as it is, Guillaume Marmin’s work does not exclude a certain form of transcendental mysticism (Hara). A preoccupation that we find in his way of evoking the beauty of the imperceptible, that of physics and the transposition of digital sounds and flows into a new world of images and narratives.
