Julie Deliquet has been appointed as the new director of the La Colline theater in Paris, taking over from Wajdi Mouawad, who has led the theater for a decade. Deliquet, currently leading the Théâtre Gérard Philipe in Saint-Denis, was selected for this prestigious position by Catherine Pégard along with the backing of the President of the Republic. She is recognized for her contributions to modern theater and has made significant artistic impacts during her tenure at her current post.

As the founder of the Collectif In Vitro, Julie Deliquet, at 45 years old, is well-regarded in the theater community and has established a reputation for innovative productions. Her recent works have included adaptations of significant literary and documentary pieces, such as 'Welfare,' which explores social assistance in 1970s New York, as well as 'The War Does Not Have a Woman's Face,' adapted from the Nobel Prize-winning work of Svetlana Alexievitch. This new appointment is seen as a continuation of La Colline's commitment to bold and thought-provoking theatrical presentations.

Deliquet is expected to bring her vision and expertise to La Colline, as she steps into her new role following Mouawad’s departure. This transition marks a significant change for the theater, which is known for its ambitious programming and engagement with contemporary global issues. Observers in the arts community are keen to see how Deliquet will shape the future of La Colline's theatrical contributions and whether she will continue the legacy established by her predecessor.
