I Patom Theatre is the theatre project of two actresses who graduated from Accademia Teatro Dimitri (Switzerland): Aude Lorrillard and Vita Malahova who, finding themselves working together in several disciplines, wanted to combine their artistic ideas with their experiences to create a theatre group together. Throughout physical expression and music I Patom Theatre aims to develop a unique scenic language tied by the creation of strong images and linked with a fine dramaturgic headline. The works of this company spawned the desire to share their work with a large audience; of every culture and nationality. I Patom Theatre is questioning hierarchy, otherness, and communication. Currently, the company is in constant movement between countries and disciplines and is touring between Latvia, Denmark, and Switzerland.

Aude Lorrillard was born in 1992 in Pertuis, France. She starts her physical practice by doing acrobatics and quickly develops a strong interest in the theatre collective work. In 2016, she graduated with a Bachelor of the Arts in Physical Theatre at the Accademia Teatro Dimitri (CH). At the end of those studies, she creates I Patom Theatre with the Latvian actress Vita Malahova. In the spring of 2017, she went to Turkey in Mardin and to Iraq to collaborate with the association Art Anywhere to promote circus in the conflict zones. Aude Lorrillard gives workshops in acrobatics, physical theatre, and voice training. In 2022 she graduated with a Master's studies in physical theater at Accademia Teatro Dimitri with research on the transmission of oral traditions.

Vita Malahova is an actress and theatre maker born in Latvia. She holds a Bachelor of Physical Theater at the Accademia Teatro Dimitri (CH) and is a founder of the physical theatre duo I Patom Theatre. Vita is attracted by playfulness as a strong connection to the people, their nature, and life story. Since 2019 Vita collaborates with performing platform Hakkehuset (DK) and takes  part in different  site-specific  projects such as  LIVETS VAND, Silketrad, Art of Biodiversity and others.  Currently Vita does her Master in “Expanded Theater” at Bern University of the Arts and works as a freelance actress and theatre maker between Denmark, Switzerland and Latvia.
