Author – Director – Producer
In April 2012, following a proposal from Théâtre du Nord, Tiphaine Raffier wrote, directed and performed her first play, La Chanson. The show premiered at the 1st Prémices Festival in Lille. In 2014, as part of the third edition of the same festival, she created her second play Dans le nom. In 2017, she created the show France-Fantôme. The same year she directed a medium-length film based on her first play, La Chanson. This film, accompanied by the production company Année Zéro and supported by the Centre National du Cinéma, was presented in May 2018 at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes. Selected for some 30 festivals, it has won numerous awards. In 2020, Tiphaine Raffier is creating La réponse des Hommes. Initially scheduled for the Festival d’Avignon, the first tour was postponed until the 21-22 season because of the pandemic. In 2021, she will recreate La Chanson [reboot] with a new cast, and is also working on a feature film adaptation of her play Dans le nom. In 2023, she will create Némésis, based on the novel by Philip Roth, at the Odéon-Théâtre de l’Europe.
The texts of her first three plays are published by La fontaine, and the text of La réponse des Hommes is published by l’Avant-scène théâtre.
