“I was born into a theater family, and from a very young age, I watched my parents become other people and experience intense emotions on stage. As I grew up, I tried to distance myself and do something entirely different, but once I realized it was possible to experience everything on a stage, life without it seemed too limited." — Pauline Bélier
“To me, to act means nothing without an audience. Our job is to offer a momentary escape from everyday life — that's what I truly love about acting. It's a responsibility that scares me. I would never want to disappoint those who have paid to see us perform." —Anouar Kardellas and Gaspard Maffre.
