Company L'Oublié(e) - Raphaëlle Boitel
Created in 2012, the company L’Oublié(e) is directed by Raphaëlle Boitel, director and choreographer.

It mixes different artistic disciplines: theatre, circus, dance, music and cinema through a chiselled work of light. The tragic and the comic are summoned in a metaphorical writing. The creation of new apparatus, particularly in the field of aerials, renews the traditional disciplines.
