Playwright and director, Florence Lavaud is the artistic director of her theatre company and Le Lieu in Dordogne. Since the founding of her company in 1989, she has focused on creating a theatre opened for all audiences, including childhood and youth. Her works, centered on themes such as childhood and difference, invite to reflect on our shared humanity. Alongside writing visual theatre, Florence Lavaud has commissioned over 20 writers, both French and from abroad. For her, these collaborations are opportunities to open her theatre to diverse forms, words, and perspectives. Her productions, such as Esquisse, Journal d’un monstre, Une Belle, une Bête, and Un Petit Chaperon Rouge, have been presented internationally (over 2700 performances). At Le Lieu, she has created a space for artistic creation dedicated to childhood and youth, fostering both national and transnational collaborations.
