Tiphaine Raffier is a young author and director with great originality. In order to allow you to discover her singular work, we have decided to present you with two of her last creations in 2020,  Dans le nom and France-fantôme, for which we offer a preferential rate.

« Lucidity, security, immortality ». In the transhumanist France of the XXVth century, our digitalized identity can be restored in a new body. So when Sam disappears in an attack, his wife Véronique, devastated, wants to download him back. But can science ensure a remedy for all pains ? « Dans le nom » dealt with the mystery of the Annunciation », writes Tiphaine Raffier, « here France-fantôme uses the other Christ myth as a starting point : Resurrection ». The play draws from all of the ressources of the narrative, the stage and the music to question our contemporary utopias.
