Rébecca Chaillon is a director, author and performer. After studying performing arts and attending the Conservatory of the 20th arrondissement of Paris, her meeting with Rodrigo García confirmed her desire to write for the stage. With the company Dans le Ventre, which she founded in 2006, she explores female identities, the relationship to the body and to society.
In 2012, she presented L'Estomac dans la peau, a solo/performance, followed in 2015 by a show about cannibalism in love: Monstres d'amour (I'll give you a good reason to scream). These two multi-faceted projects combine text, video, self-make-up and performance to tackle themes that are both intimate and political. In 2018, with twelve female football players, she created Où la chèvre est attachée, il faut qu'elle broute. In 2019, she conceived and performed with Pierre Guillois the show Sa bouche ne connaît pas de dimanche – fable sanguine, as part of the 2019 edition of Vive le sujet! (Avignon Festival / Sacd). After Carte noire nommée désir, created in 2021, the company will present in 2022 its first show for the general public, Plutôt vomir que faillir, a performative form that brings together adolescence and food(s).
