Alexandra Lacroix

Alexandra Lacroix studied at the ‘Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs’ in Paris, while also working in different collaborations as a stage director, light designer and videographer. In 2007, she co-founded the MPDA Musical Theater Company, of which she is the artistic director.

Be My Superstar is her first production at LOD muziektheater and premieres in August 2019.

Currently, with sociologist Richard Sennett, composer Marta Gentilucci and IRCAM, she accompanies the transformation of the wastelands of Chapelle Charbon through several lyrical performances in relation to architecture and inhabitants. At the MECA in Bordeaux, she developed the project Porosité with the musicians of the ensemble Ars Nova and the composer Myriam Boucher as well as a project around the character of Carmen with the complicity of the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel and enoa.
