Camille Freychet
Actress, author and radio producer Camille Freychet grew up in the Paris region, between fields and motorways. She draws her inspiration from the cinema, the movements of nature, the moped and hitchhiking.
Alongside her training as a film director - documentary and fiction - at the Sorbonne, Camille trained as an actress at the Conservatoire Jacques Ibert (Paris19) in the classes of Emilie-Anna Maillet and Eric Frey, before joining ESACT in Liège, from which she graduated in 2019. She has had the opportunity to learn a number of body and vocal techniques during a course run by Ariane Mnouchkine at the Théâtre du Soleil, as well as with her Body-Mind Centering dance training course run by Nadia Vadori-Gauthier.
Camille has recently worked as an actress with the WORKCENTER of Gerzy Grotowski (Tiyatro
Medresesi, Turkey), Nabil Ben Yadir (Les Films du Fleuve), Dominique Roodthooft (Le Corridor) and Jean-Claude Bertutti (Théâtre des Martyrs).
In 2022, as a prizewinner at the FACR, she produced a radio production entitled ‘Ouvrir la brèche’, a collective self-fiction and documentary (SACD Radio Prize 2023, selection for the Festival Longueurs d'ondes 2024, broadcast by Maison Poème, Radiola, radio stations in progress).
In July 2023, Camille wrote and performed her first dramatic text, ‘Y'a brûler et cramer’, in collaboration with sound artist Maïa Blondeau, at the Théâtre des Doms as part of Garden Party#3 at the Festival Off d'Avignon.
They are currently working together on the follow-up to this hybrid theatre and sound project : Y'à brûler et cramer (faceB) working title.

DYKE INJECTION
There's a rock, a volcano, lightning.
Camille hitchhikes across the asphalt and listens to her burning desires.
dyke injection tells the story of Camille's journey of initiation. Following the death of her grandfather, Camille hitchhikes in search of her burning desires.
From car to car, she gathers the intimate stories of the drivers she meets. Their exchanges help her to listen to her own body. On the road, Camille discovers traces of an event that shakes her to the core: a telluric stone marked by lightning jutting out vertically from the middle of the mountain. It was then that she realised what had been dormant inside her for so many years: the volcano.
DYKE INJECTION is a fictional documentary. It's a hitchhiking road-trip.
It's the story of an outing.
It's an account of that precise moment when there's no turning back. That tipping point that exists in each of our lives. That flickering, sublime point between death and extreme vitality. That breaking point, whether in love, politics, family or identity. The moment you choose this route, you create a break in the path you had originally planned. This crack - whether gaping or tiny - creates new foundations and a new imagination for each of our lives.
This is the story of our faces (B).
