Rémy Héritier

Rémy Héritier works as a performer for various choreographers (Mathilde Monnier, Laurent Pichaud, Jennifer Lacey, Loïc Touzé...) and develops his own projects at the same time.

This work takes shape in the form of research laboratories, as for objets en questions-réponses in 2002 and then campagne(s)? in 2003, 2004, 2007-08, bringing together composers, dancers, set designers, writers. These research periods have the objective of occupying spaces in the countryside (farm, factory) and to develop working methods that are specific to these spaces.
