Magrit Coulon, a Franco-German director, was born in Strasbourg in 1996. She studied directing at the INSAS in Brussels, and gradually moved away from text-based theatre to stage writing, which is infused with documentary research. At the heart of her process: architecture and time. How does a space tell its story? How does time unfold?

For her final thesis, she set out a first framework for reflection on time as a staging tool. An exploration that runs through Home - pieces of nature in ruins, which won the Maeterlinck Prize for the best discovery in Belgium and was selected for the Impatience Festival in Paris in 2020.

In 2020, she co-founded the company Nature II with Bogdan Kikena and pursued an international master's degree in Comparative Dramaturgy and Performance Research between Brussels and Frankfurt.In parallel to her work as a director, she works as a dramaturge, notably at the Schauspielhaus in Graz. For the past three years, she has also been a guest lecturer at the schools of architecture in Paris-Belleville and Strasbourg, and will soon be teaching at the Summer School of Actors at the Teatro Municipal Sá de Miranda.
