Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Theater
Catherine Umbdenstock lives and works between Paris, Strasbourg, and Berlin. A graduate in directing from the “Ernst Busch” Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin, she founded the Epik Hotel ensemble in Strasbourg in 2012. With this company, she has created about ten classical and contemporary repertoire plays.
As an associated artist at La Commune d’Aubervilliers (2014-2017) and then at La Comédie de Colmar, she practices “border-crossing” theater and regularly directs in Germany. She teaches in the Master’s program in Directing in Europe at the University of Lorraine.
With Epik Hotel, she designs and co-facilitates workshops for “distant” audiences, particularly with young actors with disabilities and at the Mulhouse-Lutterbach penitentiary center.
