Eleonora Gimenez
Eleonora Gimenez is an Argentinian slackrope, stage director, and artistic director of Company Proyecto Precipio (France). Having studied Sociocultural Anthropology from the National University of Rosario (Argentina) and training in the circus arts – initially self-taught, then at the Académie Fratellini (Saint-Denis, France) –, she is particularly interested in the grey areas where the circus touches on the human sciences and the various forms of expression in the performing arts. She has lived and worked in France since 2008. Eleonora won the "Authors in Tandem" scheme run by ARTCENA for the 2023/2024 season alongside Julie Aminthe. This initiative encourages two authors, one from the theatre and the other from the circus, to meet and work together on a cross-disciplinary writing project.
