Benjamin Dupé

Composer and stage director born in 1976, Benjamin Dupé studied at the Conservatoire de Nantes and then at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. He devotes himself to musical creation in the broadest sense: instrumental, vocal or electroacoustic writing, performance, musical theater, opera, installation... His multidisciplinary approach to music, his sense of the dramaturgy of listening and his preoccupation with the encounter with the spectator lead him to stage his work as a composer. He has received commissions from the French government, national centers for musical creation, Radio France, Ircam, Ina GRM, SACD, ensembles, orchestras, etc. His works are performed at music festivals, lyric institutions and general venues in France and abroad.
Artistic director of the company Comme je l'entends, les productions, he was awarded the Prix nouveau talent musique by the SACD in 2016, and is a laureate in 2021 of the Mondes Nouveaux program of the French Ministry of Culture.
