Born & raised
in Luchon, French Pyrenees, Nicole Peyrafitte left her hometown,
where she was a cook in the family hotel-restaurant
business. She then lived in Toulouse, Paris, and arrived
in the United States in
1987-- first settling in Southern California and
then moving to Albany New York in 1992 where she still lives.
Like the willful child
in Marguerite Duras' Les Enfants, she resisted going to
school, "Because they were trying to teach me things that
I didn't know." Each
step of her work attempts to fulfill her compulsion to learn through
a process of immersion that generates performances incorporating
her voice/paintings/drawings/videos/writing & cooking.
Peyrafitte performs locally, nationally, and in Europe.
