Ines Chiha

Inès Chiha is a French-Tunisian multidisciplinary artist and performer. She began in live performance through physical theater, street theater and music. She then looks at the practice of dance through, among others, Nadia Vadori Gauthier and her project “une minute de danse par jour”, daily performances published online and which focus on poetic and politic commitment of the movement and its intervention in public spaces.
Issues linked to immigration, economic and social marginalization, particularly resonate in her practice which questions the circumstances of our identity constructions through the relationship between the protagonist, his/her speech and the performer's rehearsal process. Recently, she has questioned the notions of anonymization, assimilation and stigmatization of communities through the mimetic of elements of body language and dialectics transmitted by popular media.

In 2024, she began writing a solo, Find (the woman), hosted at Espace Ouvert as part of the BIGBANG program (Stéphanie Décourteille) then in a creative residency at the l'Espace Libre and as part of the outdoors residencies of the Festival Quartier Danse during the summer of 2024.

Next to her artistic practice, she works in psychosocial intervention for organizations focused on the harm reduction approach.
