Sylvain Creuzevault

Biography

The French director (*1982) studied at the International School of Theatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. In 2002 he co-founded “d’ores et déjà” (Here and Now) with three actor colleagues. The group sees itself as an ensemble with no division of labour. The group achieved international acclaim with their production “Notre Terreur,” which deals with the history of the French Revolution. In 2010 Creuzevault received the Young Directors Award from the Salzburg Festival for this piece. Since then he and his ensemble have been seen as a reference point for artistic collectives attempting to find a vital, political and militant way of doing contemporary theatre. The new play “Le Capital et son Singe” was created during a several-month-long residency.
