In parallel to her training as an actress, Lorraine de Sagazan studied philosophy. In order to train for staging, she moved to Berlin in 2014 to assist Thomas Ostermeier. Upon her return, she worked on adaptations of repertoire texts: Demons by Lars Noren, Puphejmo by Henrik Ibsen and L’Absence de père by Anton Tchekhov presented at the Nuits de Fourvière, the Centquatre and the MC93.

In 2020, she began a new cycle of work exploring the way in which fiction can respond to reality. This research gave rise to two first shows, La Vie invisible and Un sacre, created at the Théâtre de la Ville, Paris and at the Théâtre Gérard Philipe in Saint-Denis, where she is an associate artist. Her diverse projects, at the crossroads of performance, the performing arts and the visual arts, have been exported both abroad and throughout France.

Her research project at Villa Medici focuses on contemporary justice and more particularly on little-known and marginal alternatives such as restorative justice. As usual, it is written through immersion and gives rise to the development of a show-performance that questions the way in which art can be part of a restorative approach by inventing a ritual of justice through theatre.

The project unfolds in a constellation of proposals, including a film and installations in the public space in conjunction with other Villa Medici artists, with the ambition of multiplying the creation of utopian and imaginary legal spaces with the original force of action.
