about
since its creation in toulouse in 2015, compagnie l’an 01 has been developing socially engaged artistic projects focused on the city. most of them are performed in non-dedicated venues or in public spaces, in order to reach a wide, diverse, and changing audience. in gymnasiums, schools, and detention centers, the an 01 company offers performances where realities clash, contradictory opinions are heard, and dogmas are exposed, exploded, and questioned.in our shows, we address subjects inspired by daily political issues: the place of violence in our society, (in)equality between men and women, love.
debate and exchange with the audience during or after the shows are essential for us in our ethic and our creations. l’an 01 rejects any verticality in its relationship with the audience.
since 2015, the company has created five shows, supported and distributed by, among others, the théâtre de la cité – cdn (toulouse), the parvis – scène nationale de tarbes, the sorano, the théâtre jules julien, pronomades en haute-garonne, the drac occitanie, and the occitanie region.
la compagnie l’an 01 gives great importance on outreach to all audiences. it is one of the bases of its work, developed outside of the performances themselves. whether through practical or theoretical workshops, discussions on the themes explored in its creations, sports workshops, photography or construction classes, the company’s outreach work invites participants to express themselves and reveal their true selves, develop their free speech and mind, and question their place in groups they belong to.
every year, the company offers hundreds of hours of workshops in schools, detention centers, and theaters.
people working for our compagnie, whether they are performers, creators, technicians, production managers, or distributors, reflect the diversity of the audiences we want to reach. they are from 18 to 77, including women, men, transgender and non-binary people, bipoc and white people, of all sexual orientations and social backgrounds.
