I am born. I learn to breathe, see, hear, and drink. I start judo. I learn how to fall. I begin circus and drums. I learn to roll and to go boom-tchak. I discover the films Rumba by Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy, and The Party by Blake Edwards. It is funny. I start trumpet. I stop trumpet.
In high school, I join the circus option in Châtellerault, where I discover the Cyr wheel. In 2020, I enter the preparatory program for higher circus schools in Rosny-sous-Bois, then in 2022, the Centre National des Arts du Cirque in Châlons-en-Champagne.
With the support of artists such as Marica Marinoni, Anthony Lefebvre, Juan Ignacio Tula, and Stefan Kinsman, my relationship with my wheel becomes more precise: I use it as support, launch myself from it, fall, play with exchanges of force between it and me, roll and wrap myself with it on the floor. With its help, I sometimes crush a nut or pop balloons.
I take pleasure in shifting things, inventing pretexts, challenges, and images in order to write. Absurdity is a recurring component of my work.
Currently, two projects are underway:
Trio Tutti Korti, with Antonio Armone and Clarisse Baudoin, where we explore a collective relationship to the Cyr wheel by working as three people with a single wheel. A first short form was created during the “cartes blanches” in December 2024, with the ambition of developing it into a 45-minute piece.
Flip Astley, a music group formed with Marc-Félix Fournier, Mathilde Hardel, and Mano Vos, with whom we hope to become niche stars.
