Franck Saurel - Actor

~ CURRICULUM VITAE


Biography


Website is also available in French and Spanish ...


I was born in Toulouse in the south of France. Enjoying an early life within the Pyrénées, then aged 21, I joined the le Théâtre du Soleil developing a practise known as 'drums on Digue'. I gained extensive expertise in a range of varied theatre skills as well as learning dance - including 'Commedia dell arte', 'Kathakali', 'circus skills', 'puppetry', 'contemporary dance', 'street dance', 'Latin dance', and 'Capoeira'. These experiences allowed me to develop my body to complete intensive physical performances and also enriching my acting ability. Following this experience I then found the world of acting in television, stage roles, film and theatre. ... read more


I regularly perform in, SAGA, a contemporary staging by Jonathan Capdevielle and also in "En Apnée", a show performed in a public open air theatre with the Compagnie Délit de Façade. I also perform in "Cristal Place" and "Mü" with the Transe Express Company, which showcases, literally, gigantic forms where musicians, acrobats, actors and dancers meet at the top of structures transported on telescopic cranes over forty meters high.


In 2020, I will also perform and dance in "Montagnes", a contemporary dance show choreographed by Florence Bernad de Montpellier.


In addition to working with le Théâtre du Soleil (east of Paris, France) I have performed as the lead actor in the opera at Die Entführung aus dem Serail in Glyndebourne (near Brighton, England), in 2016 and again in 2020.
