Alain Buffard (1960-2013), heir to and dancer of great figures of the 80s, saw the arrival of the AIDS battle as a major event. Resisting the disease, combining his own story with personal myths, he has explored various issues of his epoch through his pieces, expositions, and films. His works, from Good Boy to Baron Samedi, with their radicalism and profound interrogations have contributed to the renewal of the French theatrical scene.
