CELINE PAGNIEZ

Céline Pagniez founded the company, where she develops a poetic world and explores hybrid forms. As both a creator and performer in the company’s different projects, Céline Pagniez enjoys collaborating with a wide range of artists.

My desire to explore my own dramaturgy led me to create Compagnie El Caracol. Through my training and stage explorations, my artistic world has gradually developed around visual theatre.

​

Social themes such as housing, transmission and intergenerational relationships provide starting points for my artistic research. I like to begin with emotions and sensations, and then develop them through materials, sound and bodies. My work seeks to shift “my reality” towards a poetics of space and illusion.

​

Trained in the dramaturgical approaches of Mary Underwood and Philippe Genty with Compagnie Mots de Tête, and in new magic at the French National Centre for Circus Arts, CNAC.​
