The accompanied artists

"She embodies all our falls, our fears, our vulnerabilities. Each of her entrances on stage is a lesson in theatre and humanity. Her constant oscillation reflects our own wanderings, our weaknesses. With her, we are on the edge of falling—but only just on the edge... In that, she is one of the figures of our humanity: on the edge of... How this body, seemingly so singular, actually resembles us so deeply. How it reflects who we are at our very core. How it is the true representation of our presence in the world. A fragile being oscillating between triviality and transcendence, between falling and the determination to move forward nonetheless."

Originally from Germany, Nadia trained as an actress at the National Theatre of Bonn. Her artistic work focuses on expressing the intimate, the unspoken, and what lies just beneath the surface.
Since 2003, she has performed for Antoine Lemaire–Cie THEC and Sarah Kane. In 2007, she joined Anne Bruneau in the association La Fabrique, where she creates and performs works in relation to her specific body. There, she invites various artists to collaborate: choreographer Marie Letellier (Étranges Acorps), director Aude Denis and writer Antoine Lemaire (Mes Amours au loin), writer Samira El Ayachi and actor Henri Botte (Ça dure longtemps dans le temps).
In 2013, she performed in Aimer si fort by Guy Alloucherie (Cie HVDZ), based on La Maison de la Force by Angélica Liddell. In parallel, she worked with directors such as Thierry Thieû Niang, Françoise Delrue, Arnaud Anckaert, Christophe Piret, Catherine Gilleron, and Cédric Orain.
With Laissez-moi danser (2022), conceived in collaboration with writer Amandine Dhée, Nadia Ghadanfar gives voice to women from the Arab world and their life stories shaped by domination and prohibition.
Mue (2024), a fiction inspired by her own story, explores the search for balance and grounding in a fragmented world. Written by Thomas Suel and directed by Martine Cendre, the performance questions what we carry within us, where we come from, and how we learn to build ourselves.
