Karine Ponties

A native of France based in Belgium, KarinePonties has since her studies at the famous Mudra school been an inspiring muse and mentor for many Czech artists. In the late 1990s she first caught attention of the management of the Tanec Praha festival, on which she presented its debut for her own company Dame de Pic which she had founded in 1996. Since then she has literally returned every second year with new pieces. Her cooperation with local artists, among them Jaro Viňarský and Pierre Nadaud, culminated with the choreography Mi non sabir, which was presented at Trans Dance Europe. Their paths crossed regularly and opened towards exploration and fusion of movement, light, design and music, attracting other Czech artists.

Guillaume Toussaint Fromentin

is lighting and graphic designer, as well as theatre creator, he has been based in Brussels since 2009. Guillaume offers a vision of the scenic arts which is free of barriers, and he is known to more than fully commit to his artistic partners.

While his research around darkness and organicity have naturally led him towards dance, along Karine Ponties most notably, he remains very close to the theatre and the stakes it raises in our society.

The technical and technological expertise he has acquired through the conception and realization of large scale events, together with his grassroots knowledge of theatre inherited from his street theatre work and many international tours provide endless support to creativity and dialogue.
