Bérangère Bonvoisin

Bérangère Bonvoisin is a French actress and director.

Biography

Bérangère Bonvoisin trained as an actress at the Rouen Regional Conservatory, where she won first prize for tragedy and second prize for classical and modern comedy. In 1970, she met Alain Bézu, who directed her and his brother Bertrand in, among others, On ne badine pas avec l'amour by Alfred de Musset. She played the role of Camille in the film.
In 1973, she entered the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris for three years, in the class of Antoine Vitez. It was there that in 1975, still a student, she staged Les Sincères by Marivaux, an experience which made her the first woman in the history of the Paris Conservatory to direct.
In 1984, she signed at the Bastille Theater what she considers to be her "first real production". The play Celle qui ment was based on the writings of Angèle de Foligno.
In 1987, she directed for the first time in France, with Pioneers in Ingolstadt by Marieluise Fleisser at the Théâtre des Amandiers – Nanterre. It was produced by Patrice Chéreau.
On February 3, 2003, at the request of Georges Lavaudant and Jean Jourdheuil, she brought together around a hundred actors at the Odeon Theatre for a unique evening. The feature, Philippe Clévenot, Tête à Tête, was a show which combined readings and video documents in homage to the art of the actor, Philippe Clévenot, her late companion.
On April 25, 2005, she created another unique feature at the National Theatre of the Hill with Slogan for 343 Actresses by Nadia Soudaïeva and Antoine Volodine where she brought together 343 actresses, among others, Jeanne Moreau, Gisèle Casadesus, Elsa Zylberstein, Myriam Boyer, Nada Strancar, Micheline Presle, Ludmila Mikaël Christine Boisson. etc. The filmmaker Alain Cavalier made a film of the evening, Pour Bérangère. The film remains unpublished to this day.
She was very close to the painter Gilles Aillaud, who accompanied her in a good number of productions. In 2006, a year after his death, she staged La Maladie de la mort by Marguerite Duras. It featured Fanny Ardant at the Madeleine Theatre without any set. Bonvoisin said she was "not conceiving of calling on another scenographer". The show was later the subject of a single performance, on March 17, 2007, in the hall of the Roches Noires Hotel, in Trouville-sur-Mer where the author lived for a long time.
She was married to actor/comedian Philippe Clévenot until his death in 2001. She is the daughter of MP Jeanine Bonvoisin, the sister of actor Bertrand Bonvoisin, and the sister-in-law of actor Jean-Yves Dubois.
