OUR TEAM
MICKAËL SABBAH
With many years of theatre experience under his belt, he took over the management of the Théâtre du Temps in 2007, quickly joined by Émilie Portant with whom he has formed a partnership since 2008. The many plays that make up his repertoire draw a universe driven by artistic research on the different facets of the human condition. His theatre work starts from an exploration of language and the body and is structured around a plural stage form which, freed from “classical” artistic codes, mixes text, music, dance, image or smell. With the Anànkë company, he created the shows Echos I, Echos II, Koma (1.2.3), Poémysound, Dante Party (I, II, II) and Trans_Human_Art with the Privé group at the Théâtre du Temps.

HISTORY OF THE THEATER
Founded in 1980 by Miguel-Angel Lopez and Junji Fuseya - master of the ancestral arts Noh, Kabuki and Onnagata - the Théâtre du Temps was originally the only Japanese theatre in France. For twenty years, it was a major venue for the dissemination of Japanese theatre, mixing traditional Japanese art and Western creation.

In 2007, Mickaël Sabbah took over the management of the Théâtre du Temps. He renovated it entirely, while preserving its original architecture, including its Kabuki or -hanamichi stage, meaning "flower path".
When it reopened in October 2008, he was joined by Émilie Portant as co-director and artistic coordinator, with whom he created the Ananké Company , which still manages the establishment today.
