2009 Come Back and First Steps As A Stage Actress
Indra made a surprising come back in January 2009 as a stage actress in the comedy "Ma femme est folle" at the 'Théâtre des Nouveautés' in Paris, alongside Georges Beller, Steevy Boulay and Sonia Dubois. The first night was on January, 10 and performances were planned until the end of February, but due to the success of the play, performances had been extended until June.
In early 2009, it was also announced that Indra had recorded a full new album to be released in April called "One Woman Show". The album includes 12 tracks in English of dance-electro-pop.
Because of the success of "Ma femme est folle", the release of the album was first postponed to June, and then to September. In the meantime, "Upper hand (sexy mama)", the first single, was sent to the medias but due to the radios' lack of enthusiasm, the album was once more delayed and a new release date in November was announced. Finally, the album was made available for digital download only on December, 7. After one more delay, the physical release was finally available on the 8th of February 2010. The album suffered a total lack of promotion and did not reach the French album chart (Top 200).
In June 2010, "High heels and backwards" has been announced to be the second single from "One woman show". Promos have been sent to radios and the song was remixed by 2FrenchGuys. However, the song did not make any impact on charts or radios.
In October 2010, Indra confirmed that she would be part of the tour "Dance Machine - La tournée des années 90", a series of concerts throughout France to celebrate the 1990s with 90's artists such as Gala, Corona, Worlds Apart, Larusso, Black Box and Benny B among others. Indra performed one or two songs (including her biggest hit "Misery") during each concert. A dozen of dates were planned in France's biggest towns from March 2011 and due to the success of the tour, more dates were announced from December 2011.
Indra also announced that she is continuing her stage actress career and that she had the lead female role in another comedy "Le clan des célibataires". Performances are planned throughout France from October 2011 until June 2012. Indra was replaced by "Plus belle la vie" actress, Léa François, during the December performances so that she can be on stage for the "Dance machine" tour.
She also had the leading role in an episode of the French docufiction TV series "Le jour où tout a basculé" which aired on France 2 in April 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words steps, stage and/or actress:
“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“There is but one stage for the peasant and the actor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.”
—Ethel Barrymore (1897–1959)
