« A woman chooses to exile herself. As she flees from fascism, she doesn’t realise she runs headlong into its arms…» The Brazilian director Christiane Jatahy, associate artist of the Odeon (where she has presented Ithaque and Le Présent qui déborde), has been deeply moved by the recent political developments in her homeland. She found in the film Dogville the ideal instrument for exposing the roots of evil in any community. Freely adapting Lars von Trier's script, she shifts from one point of view to another by constantly oscillating between theatre and cinema. Standing as it were at a crossroads between stage and screen, Jatahy asks again the question that is closest to her heart: how can we break the spell of doom, what can we do to really change?

Christiane Jatahy was born in Rio de Janeiro. Within the Companhia Vértice, which she founded in 2004, she constructs devices that cross the resources of theatre and cinema, and works on the porosity between the actor and the character.

An internationally renowned artist, she has made a name for herself in Europe with Julia and What if They Went to Moscow? based on Strindberg's Mademoiselle Julie and Chekhov's Three Sisters.

Associate artist at the Odéon since 2016, she has presented A Floresta que anda (The Walking Forest), after Macbeth, and a diptych inspired by Homer: Ithaca (Our Odyssey 1) (2018) and The Present that Overflows (2019). In 2021, she will create Entre chien et loup , based on Dogville by Lars von Trier, the first chapter of the 'trilogy of horrors', devoted to the mechanisms of Bolsonaro's rise. This was followed by Before the Sky Falls, created at the Schauspielhaus in Zurich and again inspired by Macbeth; and Depois do silêncio (2022, with the Centquatre), which explores the history of slavery and land exploitation in Brazil. In January 2022, she was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for her body of work in theatre
