David Geselson founded Compagnie Lieux- Dits in 2009. Compagnie Lieux- Dits is primarily concerned with the creation of contemporary texts and experimental works for the theatre. The junction between fiction and non- fiction is at the heart of the work. The tension between the power of politics to intimately affect and transform individuals, and the way in which they can then transform history in their turn, is a common thread in their productions.
At the centre of their vision, is a powerful dynamic between a writer and a team of actors focused on creating texts and works for the theatre that tackle current political, philosophical and poetic issues.
