Frédéric Werlé

Ever since he saw Madame Butterfly at the Theatre of Metz, Frédéric Werlé has danced. He has danced with the companies of Chopinot, Decouflé, Preljocaj, Haleb, Castafiore and, for a period, with Appaix, Baïz and Berretini.

He created pieces with the IRITIS company, at the latest since the film “Boy meets Girl” by Leos Carax was released in 1984, and even when the French singer Jordy was singing “It’s tough to be a baby!” in 1992.

After some experience as artistic director at Saint-Denis for Philippe Decouflé and La Chaufferie, he worked at the CNCDC in Chateauvallon. In 2005 he met Régine Chopinot, whom he met at the time of “Besoin de rien envie de toi” by the French duet Peter & Sloane, and a short while before Sergey Bubka became the first pole-vaulter to reach six metres.
