Phia Ménard is a great artist who is not afraid to jump into the void.

Born in 1971 in Nantes, director and choreographer, she began her career with juggling before broadening her spectrum to dance, theater and acrobatics.

Founder of the company Non Nova, she presented at the Festival d'Avignon 2021 an incredible architecture elevated to the rank of an architectural-choreographic opera, "La Trilogie des contes immoraux (pour Europe)".

In a word, a gesture and a silence, she tells us about anger, beauty and power.
