That same year, she founded her own company. Among her latest creations, in December 2020, she directed the graduation show of the 32nd class of the CNAC - Centre National des Arts du Cirque - Le Cycle de L?Absurde. In February 2021, she adapts her show Un contre Un into a live version, with an original string quartet.
In November 2021, she creates Ombres Portées, a piece on the influence of what is left unsaid in our psyche and our lives. In 2022, she created the in-situ show Horizon for the Cathédrale Saint-Front in Périgueux, then adapted it in 2023 for the roofs of the Palais Royal as part of the Olympiades culturelles.
Inscribed in a graphic visual universe where light asserts itself as the protagonist, her vocabulary is invented on the principles of connections between performers from all horizons.
Every family has its carefully guarded secrets. K. doesn't want this veil drawn over an event in her life. Aware of the consequences of her action, she has resolved to confront her father?s silence: keeping quiet is no longer an option.
In a chiaroscuro worthy of the greatest Flemish masters, Raphaëlle Boitel reconstructs K.?s story as others would direct a film, through paintings of stunning beauty and characters of remarkable density. For this child of the ball, however, the narrative progresses in a very personal way, with half-words and half-gestures, on stage and in the air.
With uncommon mastery, his performers evolve at the crossroads of the arts, borrowing in turn from circus, dance and theater to translate, as closely as possible, the complexity of our psyche. And reveal the spectacular and singular path that will lead them from darkness to light.
