Marylise Frecheville was put on stage when she was three years old and became addicted to it. After questioning her academic training in dance, drama and piano, she joined her first “rebel-without-a-cause” teenage garage band in 1993 - playing keyboards, singing out-of-tune, and eventually beating the skins. After delving in Art-Nouveau architecture (with a degree from Lille Régions Nord University of Architecture, France), running after rabbits, and boozing until brain failure, she returned to the stage on drums and classical percussion (studies at the Victoria Conservatory of Music , Canada) - constantly pushing insanity and constipation further away. Frecheville suffers from an acutely selective memory, but this this has yet to prevent her from being extremely prolific; composing music, writing lyrics, rehearsing, improvising, and performing her lurid dances, intricate drum beats, and bewitching serenades with Vialka on a near daily basis.
