Annabel Guérédrat and Henri Tauliaut are a performance art pair based in Martinique[1] and co-founders of FIAP, an international festival of performance art based there.
Guérédrat (b. 1974[2][failed verification]) is a choreographer and dancer and Tauliaut a visual artist. They started working together in 2015, when Tauliaut invited Guérédrat to be in Nude Descending a Staircase and have made over twelve performances, taking place in Martinique, Guadeloupe, the French department north of Martinique, Jamaica, and the United States.[3] Their pieces include The Smell of Success, which involved Guérédrat blessing the graves of the deceased with scented liquid at Guadeloupe's Morne-à-l'Eau cemetery and the series Parade Nuptiale Iquanesque.[4] Their pieces operate under the principle of the four golden positions: standing, lying, walking, and sitting.
Guérédrat is also the founder of the nonprofit performance group Artincidence, based in Trois-Îlets, Martinique.[5]
A recent performance from 2017 is La Machi, the Mangoose y la serpiente, which they executed at the Impératrice Hotel in Fort-de-France the first night of FIAP 17.[6][7]
