We don't make babies the way we used to
a play
raphaëlle collou
actress - playwright
I am a French actress, playwright, singer - songwriter, dancer, painter... I believe in telling stories in any way possible, sharing them for others to understand that they are not alone.
Having trained at drama school in England – ALRA – and spent over six years of my adult life in London, I write both in French and English. And as a performer, I add a third language: the body.
For me a play, a performance, is an opportunity to meet with new people, to share, to feed and be fed ideas, hopes and, of course, stories. It is this meeting that makes it real, worthwhile and memorable. So that is what I am focusing on as an artist and especially with this play, We don’t make babies the way we used to : I’m only alone on stage to meet you.

director - producer
I am an Anglo-Canadian bilingual theatre artist who recently moved to Paris, France. Since training in musical theatre at Grant MacEwan University (class of 2013) I have worked in French and English in several different countries as an actor, producer, stage manager, artistic associate, and more!
I recently produced my first show in Paris, Overhear, and am currently the resident stage manager at La Compagnie Oghma. You can also see me performing in Olala Party's burlesque show Cabaret Immersif once a month. I am so excited to be directing for the first time with such a lovely star! In my other life, I run a social media marketing business.

QUENTIN LACHAPELE
COMPOSER
I’m a French music composer based in London, where I studied film music and I now live. I specialise in writing music for films, documentaries and theatre pieces as well as commercials and promotional campaigns.
Recently I had the chance to score two very promising short films, ‘Bubbles’ and ‘Ne M’oublie Pas’, a series of short documentaries called ‘Local Heroes' in addition to writing original music for brands like ‘Gü’ and ‘Ballantine’s Whisky’. I have also worked with theatre company ‘Justice In Motion’ and composed the music of award winning feature film ‘Wasp’.
I am delighted to write music for this amazingly moving play and hope to help enhance the poetry of the piece.
