La Compagnie Indigo
The Compagnie Indigo is a theatre company offering live performances, courses and artistic retreats in theatre, dance, writing, etc.
In addition to its professional activities, it offers artistic events throughout the year that include amateur young adults.
For some time now, La Compagnie has been doing its utmost to offer more inclusive and supportive projects combining nature and culture, and trying to place theatre in wild and atypical places (shows on the water's edge, participative readings in disused swimming pools, creation of an inter-generational free dance course open to people with disabilities, writing workshops in churches...).
The Compagnie Indigo's dream is one day to build a theatre in the forest, with admission paid not in money but in trees to be planted.

What do you want to do when you grow up?
- I want to create Worlds.
Sitting at the small table at the back near the window, a steaming cup of poetry in hand, she displays her Superheroine panoply. The Imagination Open-Bar and the well-oiled keyboard, she sets the scene for her next show. Acting, directing, writing… above all, dreaming.
Eco-feminist in love with the small and big stories of humanity, she creates theater as one hungers and thirsts. By shouting his poetry loudly, standing on the table so that his cup is never empty.
A graduate of the Paris National Conservatory, Clio works with Bernard Sobel, Eric Lacascasde, Daniel Mesguish, Thomas Le Douarec... Her plays Sanga, Nuit, ma liberté!, Bien née.e.s, and Au Monde, some of which have been published and performed in France and Canada, explore the themes of feminism, ecology and civic freedom by offering poetic and political universes.
The dreamlike and musical, clown-dystopian and quasi-science fictional character of his pieces are joyful vectors for rebelling, dreaming and questioning the World around us.
