from January 7 to 23, 2025

The new leadership of La Commune, National Drama Center (CDN) of Aubervilliers, invites the Nathalie Béasse company—associate artist for the 2024–2027 period—to take over the theatre for a major event entitled “Pavillon”: "To inherit a theatre in January and open it in June. So, quickly move towards joy, toward desire. Go straight to the heart of encounters, of longing. No programs, no strategies—move forward through the joy of others. Form a team, give rise to projects we ourselves hadn’t foreseen. [...]
That is why, starting this season, an international festival and five artists—a playwright, a director, a choreographer—will take turns transforming La Commune by installing their own 'Pavilions,' bringing together new works, repertory pieces, emerging artists they will endorse, installations, exhibitions... Each time creating a universe of their own." Frédéric Bélier-Garcia, Director of La Commune, CDN Aubervilliers

This pavillon was structured around three components:
- the presentation of two productions: velvet and le bruit des arbres qui tombent

- a workshop with professionals, which led to public showings of a short piece created on-site

- the company also invited other artists:
              saturday, january 11: 
              four young artists connected to la cabine presented short-form pieces

              saturday, january 11 and sunday, january 12: 
              denis and louise mariotte presented their choreographic and visual performance et caetera

18th  January - 1st Febuary 2024

For more than 20 years, the work of Nathalie Béasse have been widely acclaimed on the greatest French and European stages, from the Venice Biennale to the Avignon Festival. Until now, however, she had never had the opportunity to show her work in Belgium. TheThéâtre Varia, located in the heart of Brussels in the European district, has decided to devote to it in January 2024 to Nathalie Béasse's work. Three weeks dedicated within the Théâtre Varia program, to take the time to navigate in the singular imagination of this major figure of the contemporary scene, and establish a privileged dialogue with her, around four shows from her repertoire: aux éclats..., le bruit des arbres qui tombent, tout semblait immobile, ceux-qui-vont-contre-le-vent.
Coline Struyf, director Théâtre Varia.

In 2019, Nathalie Béasse became associate artiste at la Comédie de Clermont-Ferrand scène nationale pour trois années for a three-year period. In spring, for four weeks La Comédie presents four of Nathalie Béasse works from her repertoire previously presented at The Venise Biennale - happy child, tout semblait immobile, roses and le bruit des arbres qui tombent, inviting the public to discover this journey through her work.

along with talks and workshops for schools/colleges organised by and with the complicity of La comédie and the education team.

Following the principle behind the project Théâtre Permanent developped by Gwenaël Morin, the company nathalie béasse invested the théâtre du point du jour à Lyon for four months, september to december 2016.

We presented three shows - happy child, tout semblait immobile, roses – shared work in progress: le bruit des arbres qui tombent, created daily site specific performances, show live, and delivered workshops as well as welcoming the public for dinners with the company.
