TATIANA in situ by Julien Andujar is an adaptation of the show TATIANA (to be seen during Le Grand Bain) designed for non-dedicated venues: sports halls, museums or other living spaces. This performance can be presented in episodes or in a shortcut version.
statement of intent
by Julien Andujar
I asked my imaginary friend to perform a solo piece that reveals the world surrounding an 11-year-old boy, myself in this case, after the mysterious disappearance of his 17-year-old sister. This autobiographical fiction is an impossible quest, a documentary tale, a cabaret act, a public confession and a tribute to those who have disappeared. I want to restore the beauty of my older sister’s name, who has been missing since 24 September 1995.
With all her humour and light, I am sure that my imaginary friend will be able to carry this subject and embody all the bodies that continue to search for Tatiana’s. The policeman, the journalist, the lawyer, the best friend, the mother, the brother… This play is a ceremony, a tribute to Tatiana, a tribute to the living.

portrait
Trained at COLINE with Daniel Larrieu, Odile Duboc and Hervé Robbe, Julien Andujar then honed his skills as a trainee dancer at La Place de la Danse CDCN Toulouse Occitanie. After performing for Mylène Benoit, Michel Kelemenis and Yuval Rozman, he turned to creation and writing with VLAM Productions and then the BIBOTCH company. He explores hybrid forms combining different disciplines (dance, theatre, poetry, video) as a ‘pretext for laughing, meeting people and telling our most intimate stories’.
