ACTRESS & STAGE DIRECTOR

Emmanuelle Pajot is an actress, originally trained in dance before fully committing to acting.

In 2021, she joined the professional program at Cours Peyran Lacroix (2021–2024), a pivotal step in her artistic path.

On screen, she appears in the series Irma Vep directed by Olivier Assayas, in the feature film Comme par magie by Christophe Barratier, and in the police series Astrid et Raphaëlle. These experiences have shaped her relationship with the camera and refined the precision of her performance.

She established herself on stage through the co-creation of three productions—Où est l’amour maintenant, Karcasses, and Zerbrechlich—performed at Théâtre de la Pépinière.

In 2023, she joined the teaching team at Cours Peyran Lacroix as a Workshop Leader, maintaining an ongoing dialogue between training and creation.

In 2024, she joined the cast of Le Mime et l’Étoile for around one hundred performances. The show was awarded the THEA Classic Award for Best Live Show in the World in Los Angeles.

That same year, she founded her company Le Tartare Théâtre. Driven by research at the crossroads of theatre and contemporary dance, she develops a stage language in which writing, the body, and imagery play a central role. Her work explores the complexity of human beings—our wounds and our impulses toward healing. For her, the body is an essential storytelling vehicle. She is currently creating Femelles, the first production of Le Tartare Théâtre.
