(Delphine ARBEAU, soprano; Marie Laure GALLIER, piano; Eric AUVRAY, actor and narrator).
Eric Auvray, actor and director
Trained at Rue Blanche (ENSATT), he built his career performing works by Shakespeare, Molière, Artaud, Goldoni, Enquist, Cros, Scarron, Dostoevsky, and Neveux, as well as works by poets and historical texts, under the direction of renowned theater directors: Weisz, Freygnet, Maissonave, Rosfelder, Villemaine, Fujimori, and Quercy.
His encounter with Jean Gillibert proved pivotal (Les Démons, Artaud, Prével). He has collaborated with the Cori Spezati ensemble (Marienzo, *Le Livre de Job*) as well as with opera singers and musicians (Gérard Théruel, Delphine Arbeau, Stéphanie Moralès).
As a theater professor, he leads theater and reading-aloud workshops in prisons as well as at conservatories. He currently teaches at Sciences Po Paris. As a director, he creates musical productions that reflect his love of poetry (Lamartine, Ch.
