Description:

At the Beaux-Arts in London and then at Le Fresnoy, the national studio for contemporary arts, Mylène Benoit understood that while art offers a reflection on form, it is also the vehicle for aesthetic, historical, and political legacies. She quickly involved the body in diverse research combining dance, song, sound material, light vibration, and textual elements. Her powerful and original creations, committed to the women's point of view, seek to bring to light entire swathes of knowledge about the living that have long been overlooked.

The company has around fifteen works in its repertoire, including Archée, created at the Cloitre des Célestins for the 2021 Avignon Festival. Mylène Benoit was an associate artist at Vivat, a dance and theater conventioned scene in Armentières from September 2011 to June 2014.
