“In Euritmia unfolds an almost abstract, fluid, and effervescent dance, marked by elegance, with a play on extensions, balance, and clarity of lines.” Danser Canal Historique, Thomas Hahn, Summer 2025
​
“Six performers, alert, lively, and combative, embody a watchful animality that transforms into an ecstatic rite, making the space vibrate with a powerful collective dynamic.” Danser Canal Historique, Thomas Hahn, Summer 2025

'Fluid and organic, generous with the public, Mathieu Guilhaumon’s L’Heure Bleue gently, subtlety and ingeniously carries us away'
El Mercurio
'Mathieu Guilhaumon had the interesting and brilliant idea (it cannot be described in any other way) to conceive a refreshing contemporary version of Giselle ... the result is a success, an artistic coup.'
Las Ultimas noticias
'With Noces, Mathieu Guilhaumon runs with great panache the rythm of the piece as well as the great group of dancers from which arise scenic situations that capture the viewer's gaze. The final appearance of the bride and groom is remarkable, clear symbol of their union as a sacrifice.'
Santi Theater & Dance
'Hats Off! is an expressive and energetic fusion of urban and contemporary dance ... Mathieu Guilhaumon invites us to dream and recreates a type of show strongly rooted in the popular imagination, a work that expands the borders of contemporary dance and nurtures it in other ways that enrich its expression.'
Tuiteros cultura
'Hats Off! is a high-calibre production'
Santi Theater & Dance
'Dos veces Bach is a neat and elegant choreography with a touch of humour (...) an experience that moves by its aesthetic virtuosity.'
Vuelan las Plumas
'In Dos veces Bach Mathieu Guilhaumon shows an unparalleled talent to set a piece that highlights music and dance'

Mathieu's video reel is here.
​
Mathieu Guilhaumon, Artistic Director of the Ballet Nacional Chileno (BANCH) since 2013, has had his career shaped through an international and eclectic range of experiences.
​
This diversity of influences has left a lasting mark on him. From the Conservatoire of Perpignan, his hometown, to the studios of Martine Limeul and Matt Mattox, from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center in New York to the École-Atelier Rudra Béjart, he has built a unique and distinctive technical and artistic background. This versatility nourished his path as a performer within various companies, from Groupe 13 directed by Maurice Béjart to the Ballet de l'Opéra National du Rhin—where he began his choreographic career—passing through the Stadttheater Bern Ballet and the Ballet Theater Augsburg.
​
As a choreographer, Mathieu's artistic approach explores the boundaries between genres and choreographic styles, reflected in works created for the BANCH, the Ballet de Santiago in Chile, under the direction of Marcia Haydée, and Balé Teatro Guaíra (Brazil).
​
Since 2012, Mathieu has also choreographed operas directed by Mariame Clément at the Opéra national du Rhin, the Opéra National de Paris, and the Teatro Real in Madrid, among others.
​
In 2018 and 2019, the Chilean Circle of Art Critics awarded his creations Giselle and Hats Off! with the prize for Best Choreography of the Year. In 2018, Mathieu was named Cultural Figure of the Year by the Chilean national newspaper El Mercurio.
​
In 2021, alongside his responsibilities in Chile, Mathieu founded the “Festival des 8 / Dance in Collioure,” an annual event dedicated to making dance accessible to all. Within this framework, he created the piece À l’ombre de la Jeune Fille in 2021 for Paris Opera étoile Marie-Agnès Gillot.
​
In 2024, Mathieu was named Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture.
