In 1985, Jean Pétrement created Compagnie Bacchus in Besançon, an initiative supported by Denis Llorca (director of the Franche-Comté CDN), based on a project by the young regional professional troupe.
The artistic project of Compagnie Bacchus revolves around creation, training and theatrical distribution. Since its creation, Compagnie Bacchus has created more than 50 shows broadcast in France and around the world: Canada, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Morocco, Algeria, Chad, Switzerland, United States…
But what drives Compagnie Bacchus is creation, what has kept us passionate for all these years is the philosophy of Bacchus which remains unchanged: “What defines my artistic signature and that of the Compagnie Bacchus is the idea of a popular theater which is in action with our daily universe.” -Jean Pétrement.
Author, director, actor, and founder of the Bacchus Company in 1985, Jean
trained at the Conservatoire National de Région (P. Lera) and at the Centre
de Rencontre of Besançon (J. Vingler, J. Fornier), he joined the Centre
