My work stands between performance and scenography.
It is born from a necessity: to address political urgencies with poetic tools.
To stretch, fluidize, flip over
colonial relations to land, to ecology, to spirit.
Child’s gaze is my playful tactic
to grasps the immediate, the accidental, the marvelleous,
and turn it into ways of pursuing, imagining, and constructing sceneries.
The work becomes a terrain to uneart the social, ecological and cultural implications of colonialism.
To claim a poetic justice.

I work through delocalization and reconversion
of sites, materials, images, sounds, bodies.
As the spectator moves through the space, they move through the narrative;

they traverse through the body,
they traverse through the senses,

the site folds into the work, the work unfolds as a phenomenological passage,
a reminder of one’s own presence, one’s own time.
The performance is unstable, porous, multimodal,
open to composition,
open to recomposition, from any entry.
An invitation to agency,

to responsibility
to mobilization
