Adhok

• France

In 2012, the success of "Échappées Belles" prompted the creation of a new company, baptised “Adhok”, allowing Doriane Moretus and Patrick Dordoigne to pool their artistic expertise. The goal was to strengthen their creative bonds and realise their shared dream of developing a new language of public performance. Doriane Moretus had previously sculpted her own distinctive artistic universe – creating a unique, poetic language of corporeal expression strongly influenced by Tanztheater – with the eponymous “Compagnie Doriane Moretus”.

She had also collaborated with street performance companies on numerous occasions. Patrick Dordoigne, meanwhile, was one of the co-founders of “Les Alama’s Givrés”, a company with whom he worked for 18 years as (co) artistic director, (co) director, (co) writer, and actor. He had also worked in collaboration with various street performance companies. The artistic duo went on to assemble a team of 8 actors, 5 technical staff and 2 administrative staff, all of whom were vital participants in this wonderful creative adventure.

In 2016 they joined forces once again, their passion for public performance undimmed and their appetite for a new artistic adventure greater than ever. A new project was born: Immortels. Two shows rolled into one: Immortels - Le nid and Immortels - L'envol. And now the adventure continues, in the company of 9 new actors and an extra technician!
