"This residency in Deauville, a magnificent work of creation"
Since 2010, every mid-February, Deauville welcomes Anne-Marie Philipe and her student actors from L'Atelier des Déchargeurs for a new show combining a famous film and an exploration of romantic relationships. "This creation in Deauville is always an important date in the calendar of my theater school," confides the actressand director. "We have wonderful working conditions. Working in residence in this way, it welds a group extraordinarily. These residencies induce other relationships between us."
Anne-Marie Philipe happily carries a heavy theatrical heritage. Gérard Philipe's daughter was born on December 21, 1954 in Boulogne-Billancourt. Initially destined for a scientific career, she decided to make a name for herself in the world of theater. She played Le Cid, Ruy Blas, Claudel or Jean Anouilh. She turned to more contemporary plays and also played the roles of bourgeois women and leading ladies in films such as Guy de Maupassant or La veuve de Saint-Pierre. Passionate about horseback riding, she created a series of 14 comic books for children featuring the adventures of "Danseur", a Portuguese horse.
A THEATRICAL RESIDENCE TO MEET HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Since 2011, Anne-Marie Philipe and her student actors have been working in partnership with the City of Deauville. Hosted for two weeks in the Villa Namouna, they rehearse in situ a theatrical proposal, often an adaptation of a film, created for the event L'Amour en toutes lettres. César et Rosalie created in Deauville in 2014 was welcomed in Paris, where it aroused the enthusiasm of Jean-Loup Dabadie and the national press, then at the 2015 Avignon Festival.
During this residency, a theatrical practice workshop is proposed to the students of the André Maurois high school in Deauville.
Anne-Marie Philipe divides her life between Normandy, where she can practice her passion for horseback riding, and Paris. She is married to the writer Jérôme Garcin, host-producer of the program Le Masque et la plume on France Inter, who chairs the literary prize "Livres & Musiques" of Deauville.
