Sonia Debeauvais was born in 1925 in Denmark. She has been working with Jean Vilar from 1956, helping him in the creation of France’s most important theater festival – Festival d’Avignon – where she worked for 30 years. Frikkadel is the only recipe she kept from her Danish roots and the only recipe she transmitted down to me.

I was born in 1979. I directed two feature films, in 2010 and 2015. Two short films as well. Oh and I’m Scorpio with Virgo rising, that’s important.
