Claire Stavaux

Born in 1984 in Marseille. She has been passionate about theater since a very young age, having first discovered it on the streets of Avignon, where she spent her teenage years. This passion blossomed in Berlin, where she learned German on stage. Later, after earning her agrégation in German, she taught dramaturgy and the history of classical and contemporary German theater at Paris 3 at the undergraduate level, as part of a dissertation on contemporary German theater and, more specifically, on “dramatic speech in all its forms” in the works of Roland Schimmelpfennig. She has also been a literary translator for the past three years, having translated works by the young Austrian author Clemens Setz, *Love in the Time of the Child from Mahlstadt* (2012) and *The Indigo Syndrome* (June 2014), published by Éditions Jacqueline Chambon, as well as the subtitles for DVDs of Pina Bausch’s performances (*Walzer*, *Ahnen Ahnen*, *Rehearsals for The Rite*) for L’Arche. Since January 2015, she has served as an editor at L’Arche Editeur.
