Through its positioning, ethics and values, FEDORA platform provides essential support for innovation and creation. But this commitment goes much further by connecting artistic teams to initiate networking and collaborative process.Éric Oberdorff, Choreographer and Director
Since 2002, Compagnie Humaine has been creating interdisciplinary projects for stages and screen. A French dancer, choreographer, filmmaker and opera director, the company’s director and founder, Éric Oberdorff, tirelessly explores the physicality of bodies and their connections to the world as vehicles of poetry. He accompanies his creation work by a wide range of outreach activities, paying particular attention to people in socially vulnerable situations.
Éric's works—including choreographies, opera productions and films—have received numerous international awards, such as the Fedora Generali Prize for Opera 2018 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale – Biennale Musica 2022.
“Turning utopia into reality is also what La Compagnie Humaine sets out to do... Often appearing where one least expects it, the choreographer’s work is a constant search for humanity and shared experience in the face of the world’s harshness, a quest interwoven with modern poetry…” - LA STRADA -

SUPPORT OUR ORGANISATION
By creating ambitious and innovative interdisciplinary projects, Compagnie Humaine’s team places people at the heart of the creative process and works to make art and culture accessible to all. We champion the fundamental idea that the creative impulse is the very expression of life, embodying our cultural heritage, our contemporary concerns and our aspiration to play a part in building a sustainable shared future.
WAKU DOKI
In Japan, “waku-doki“ refers to the feeling of anticipation and the rush of adrenaline one experiences when about to do something exciting. In a digital and immersive set design conceived by visual artist Étienne Guiol, the dancers explore the physical states generated by this unique moment - somewhere between virtuosity and suspended time - playing with the dramaturgy of Terry Riley’s famous and hypnotic “In C” in a striking new version.
