After Les Danses de Poupées de belles-mères Sophie  Perez offers Sophie Lenoir this unex- pected solo drawn from her unique  repertoire. The dancers’ gestures, in the manner of elo- quent and  unpronounceable witticisms, res- onate pertinently with this carte  blanche piece inspired by a scene from The Afternoon of a Faun, but in which the faun is female.
In Le Pied jaloux, Sophie Lenoir simply throws down a challenge to form, content and theory.

After graduating from ESAT art school in 1990, Sophie Perez was  awarded a residency in scenography the following year at the Villa  Médicis. Her work on atypical places and texts, which she tests through  theatre, started at this time. She founded the Zerep Company in 1997 and  began staging shows where styles and genres overlap. Sophie Perez  designed the scenography for several of Frédéric Bélier-Garcia’s  productions.

She has regularly collaborated with Xavier Boussiro, namely for Deux Masques et la Plume (2010), Oncle Gourdin (for the Avignon Festival in 2011), Enjambe Charles (2013), Prélude à l’agonie (2014) and Biopigs (2015).

Since 2001, the National Center for Dance (CND) has been making recordings of its shows and educational programming and has created resources from these filmed performances (interviews, danced conferences, meetings with artists, demonstrations, major lessons, symposia specialized, thematic arrangements, etc.).
