About the Artists
Focus Company
Focus Company
Directed by Julie Tenret, who graduated from INSAS, the company Focus from Brussels creates shows combining theater of objects, puppets, actors and video. The scenic language she proposes is essentially visual metaphorical, poetic, artisanal, very close to a cinematographic writing. Her shows are aimed to all audiences and deal with social issues starting from the intimate, the infra-ordinary to reach the universal. In 2009, in collaboration with Isabelle Darras and Agnès Limbos, she created the show “Fragile”, which received a prize for its sensitivity, its strength and its commitment at the Rencontres de Théâtre de Huy in Belgium. To this date more than 250 performances have been presented around the world. In 2011, in collaboration with Isabelle Darras, she created “Silence”. Silence was presented at Avignon Festival in Théâtre des Doms in 2014. The show received numerous awards: the Maeterlinck Prize for the best young audience show in 2015 as well as the press crush and the Youth Minister's Prize. To this day Silence has been presented 350 times.
