FRANÇOIS CHAIGNAUD
After graduating in 2003 from the National Superior Conservatory of Paris for Music and Dance, François Chaignaud has danced for many choreographers (Alain Buffard, Boris Charmatz, Emmanuelle Huynh, Gilles Jobin). Since his first piece in 2004, he conceives dance as a global expression, his work is characterized by the articulation of singing and dance and a profound relationship to history, evinced in his own work as well as in the collaborations he has formed with multiple artists (with Jérôme Marin, Marie Caroline Hominal or Théo Mercier). Between 2005 and 2016, together with Cecilia Bangolea, he created a series of noteworthy shows that were presented worldwide. In 2021, he founded mandorle productions, whose artistic line is based on the cooperation with other artists such as Nina Laisné, Marie-Pierre Brébant, Akaji Maro, Dominique Brun, and Sasha J. Blondeau. He also creates pieces for large groups of performers: Soufflette in 2018, and t u m u l u s in 2022, then In absentia in 2024, with Geoffroy Jourdain. He recently created the pieces Mirlitons with Aymeric Hainaux and Petites Joueuses and is currently working on Último Helecho with Nadia Larcher and Nina Laisné (to be created in 2025). A portrait is dedicated to him on the occasion of the Festival d’Automne à Paris 2025. He is an associate artist at Chaillot – Théâtre national de la Danse in Paris as well as the Maison de la danse and the Biennale de la danse de Lyon.
AYMERIC HAINAUX is a visual artist, musician and composer. Particularly known for his very personal human beatbox style and his 6 years hitchhiking tour. For his intense corporeal performances he uses a kind of beatboxing style, but ends up with sound signatures that relate much more to abstract electronic music, drone, glitch and noise than to hip hop. Besides his own body, breath and voice, the only extras he uses are a microphone, some harmonicas, accordion, bells and echo pedal. No loop, live action only! His music comes literally from within – voice, breath, muscle tension, movements, heartbeats and sudden outbursts of sound are celebrating the living and the immediacy of the present moment. Hainaux has repeatedly been awarded in the French Beatbox Championship. He has played in different places; from squats to La Fondation Cartier, Palais de Tokyo, Empty Bottle Chicago, Phono Festival Odense, Biennial of Thessaloniki, MUDAM Luxembourg, Villa Arson Nice.
