Presentation
From 2017 to 2023, we have made the research and creation cycle “THE VOICE OF THE ABSENTEES”. It was a crucial theatrical act for us, that questioned why and how some bodies and some viewpoints are absent from theatrical stages. By doing that, we have conquered a brand-new stage presence and asserted that everything, in theater, can be a writing. Every session will come back on a creative experience that allowed us to reveal and specify this peculiar relationship to the stage and to theater. The Masterclasses will come back on the genesis of the concepts we developed, the workshops will be an attempt to put these concepts into practice.

La Compagnie Les Papavéracées
The Papaveraceae Company was founded in 2015 by Charlotte Le Bras with the aim of creating a joyful, necessary, and bold theater of research and creation ! The approach is structured piece by piece, with a commitment to long-term work and a philosophy of ensemble. Through encounters with non-theatrical writings influenced by social sciences, the initial cycle of research and creation has given rise to a personal theatrical language and a unique way of being on stage, questioning the presence of voices and bodies that are often absent from the public space.
