Realer than real: Hélène Builly’s striking collages for the Théâtre des Célestins

Located in the heart of Lyon, the Théâtre des Célestins is one of the few theatres in France that has been operating continuously for over 200 years. Such prestigious history is also sustained by an innovative and culturally sound program and longstanding collaborations with visual artists to bring to life all communication materials.

For the 2018/2019 season, Hélène Builly’s fascinating collages were chosen to illustrate the program that this year features timeless plays from Seneca and Molière, as well as works from contemporary authors such as David Lindsay-Abaire and Kate Tempest.

With her sophisticated and elegant aesthetic, Hélène Builly’s impressive artworks managed to capture the essence of the Théâtre des Célestins’s season: eclectic and poetic. Sometimes surreal, sometimes as realistic as photographs, Hélène’s surprising and beautiful compositions prove the versatility and distinctiveness of her collage technique.

“Collage is, first of all, an irresistible desire to change the order of things.”

The artworks are used throughout the theatre’s communications material, from its printed programme and its promotional posters through to the large banners in front of the historic building.
