About Ina Mihalache

Ina Mihalache was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Her father was from Romania, and her mother was French Canadian. When she was ten, Ina decided to change her Canadian French accent. She wanted to sound like people from France. She heard this accent on the radio and French TV channels. She said it was an "aesthetic choice," meaning she liked how it sounded. This decision caused some discussion in her home province of Quebec.

Ina's Journey to Acting

Ina moved to Paris, France, in 2004. There, she joined a famous acting school called Cours Florent. She was later accepted into a special class called Classe Libre. This class was taught by Jean-Pierre Garnier and Olivier L. Brunet. Ina tried four times to get into another top acting school, the CNSAD, but she was not accepted.

Ina gets ideas for her art from many famous artists and filmmakers. Some of her main influences include Anna Karina, Emmanuelle Riva, and Lars von Trier. She also looks up to artists like Sophie Calle and Tehching Hsieh.

Early Creative Works

Ina was introduced to a film festival program called Talents Cannes de l'Adami. This happened after she worked with Mathieu Amalric on a short film. After this, she started making her own unique art projects. One of these was a series called Réussites/Patiences. This project explored feelings of not fitting in, being alone, and doing nothing. It also looked at the human body in public spaces. Ina also worked for France Télévisions. She was an editor and did voice-overs for their shows.

Solange Te Parle: The YouTube Channel

In November 2011, Ina Mihalache started her blog, Solange te parle. It was a collection of short videos. The character Solange gives funny and often silly advice. She tries to help with the everyday problems of a young woman who is not very social. Solange's way of thinking is quite unique and playful. It reminds some people of other funny and thoughtful artists. Ina once said about her character, "Solange is inadequate. She does not know how to do things, but she tries."

Solange on Radio and Stage

In April 2012, Ina played a character named Sasha Maréchal. This was for a France 3 TV documentary series called EtrangesAffaires.com. She worked alongside journalist Patrick Pesnot.

In July 2012, Ina worked with Radio France. She created a series of 54 short daily audio clips. These were broadcast on France Inter as part of a show called Antibuzz. The series was named Solange lit tous tes tweets (Solange Reads All Your Tweets). The topics for these clips came from tweets. She returned in February 2013 with another series called Solange dans le bus (Solange on the Bus). These clips were released every Tuesday on a show called Comme on nous parle.

Ina also performed on stage. She played the main character in a play called Virginia Wolf. This play was directed by Nathalie Bensard. It was based on a children's book by Kyo Maclear and Isabelle Arsenault.
