Odile Cornuz (1979) released her debut compilation of monologues “Terminus” (Terminal Station, publ. by L’Âge d’Homme) in 2005. This debut was rereleased in 2013 in a pocket edition under the title “Terminus (et onze voix des plus)” (Terminal Station and eleven more voices). She followed her debut with “Biseaux” (Frames, publ. by d’autre part, 2009) and “Pourquoi veux-tu que ça rime?” (Why would you want this to rhyme, publ. by d’autre part, 2014). In 2014, she published the volume of prose poems “Ma ralentie” (My deceleration), which won the 2018 Auguste Bachelin Prize. She has written works for radio, which have been presented by Jean-Michel Meyer, as well as works for theater, which have been put on stage and directed by Anne Bisang, Anne-Cécile Moser, Georges Guerreiro and Robert Sandoz. Her poetry has been set to music by composers such as Daniel Perrin, Lee Maddeford and François Cattin. She explores the concept of stage presence through projects such as Jukebox Litteraire, in collaboration with Antoinette Rychner, or Bal Litteraire, created upon invitation by Fabrice Melquiot. From 2015 to 2018, she served as head writer for Théatre Kléber-Méleau in Renens, under the direction of Omar Porras. In 2016, the publishing house Droz released her doctoral dissertation in the form of a book with interviews from various writers.
