Paris Aurore
Writing became an integral part of Aurore Paris’s life at a very young age: at eight, she won a regional poetry prize. From then on, she never stopped writing.
At twenty, Aurore wrote her first play, Est-ce que tu aimes les pissenlits? (Do You Like Dandelions?), which was performed at the Cours Florent drama school and the Saint-Mandé Festival. Her second play, a four-character piece titled Juste un petit cancer (Just a Little Cancer), was performed as part of the “carte blanche” series at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique in Paris, where she studied drama from 2005 to 2008. It was at the end of her second year that she received a grant to direct an adaptation of Chekhov’s The Seagull at the Conservatoire’s theater.
After graduating, Aurore devoted herself to writing poetry and screenplays for ten years. She also wrote numerous short films. She directed one of them, Ad Nauseam, produced by Jet Lag Productions. She was then noticed by established writers and co-wrote several feature films with them (Jonathan Cohen, Charles Van Tieghem, Antoine Brétillard, etc.).
For five years, she also wrote a novel, Mange ton chagrin (Eat Your Sorrow), a long series of interior monologues that confirmed her desire to write for the theater again.
She wrote her third play for six characters, Stupides et contagieux (Stupid and Contagious), and won the ARTCENA Creation Grant in 2019.
She had her fourth play, Ce pays qui nous était destinée (This Country That Was Destined for Us), read by Vincent Menjou-Cortès, who was immediately captivated and decided to stage it with his company, Salut Martine. The play will be performed from March 12 to 14, 2025, at the Scène Nationale de Bayonne and will run throughout the 2025 Avignon Festival at 11·Avignon. Her fifth play, Chère famille (Dear Family), will be directed by Julien Alluguette. The play is currently seeking producers.
In addition, the Thibault Perrenoud company has commissioned her to write a very loose adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining. The premiere of Redrum is scheduled for 2027.
Aurore is currently writing her seventh play, Zinzin, a comedy for teenagers.
