PERFORMER
Willy Laury is internationally recognized for his exceptional artistry as a dancer and performer. He spent seven years with the renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater — the world’s largest contemporary dance company — and has performed with major companies including The Metropolitan Opera NY, Ballet X, Morphoses, Michael Clark Company and appeared as a guest artist with Incidence Chorégraphique of the Opéra National de Paris. Throughout his career, Willy has collaborated with visionary artistic directors such as Franco Dragone, Judith Jamison and Francesca Harper . Alongside his performance work, he created original solo productions for Vidal Sassoon in London, Medley Academy in Paris, The Public Theater in New York City, and for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Danone Nations Cup in 2018. Driven by a deep passion for performance, Willy expanded into theater, training in New York City with Matthew Corzine. This pivotal experience shaped a distinctive artistic voice — one that fuses his heritage, his passion for fashion, and the diverse cultural influences encountered throughout his international career. Today, Willy Laury is a stage & film director, choreographer, and performer, and serves as the artistic director of EFFRONTÉS.
EFFRONTÉS asserts itself first and foremost as a theatre and dance company — a demanding corporeal language, a precise scenic research. Here, cabaret is not a backdrop. It is a playground. With humility — but without false modesty — EFFRONTÉS embraces an ambitious choreographic and theatrical vision, rooted in the tradition of live performance while boldly reinventing its codes.
