MORE PROJECTS...

2021 - 1 to 1 - Performance
A series of concerts for 1 person only.
At the end of the 2020 health crisis, I proposed a performance at the Botanique during which I would give a 10-minute concert for one person. No cell phone, no witnesses. Just a moment shared between the artist and a person, existing only at that very precise moment. At a time when our freedoms were restricted, I wanted to recreate intimacy, connection, an encounter. The performance took place on October 4 and 10 at the Botanique as part of the 2021 edition of Les Nuits.

2022 - DE TOUT ORDRE, VIENDRA LE CHAOS - Residency & EP
October 2022, I lose my voice abruptly. This state, and the prospect of perhaps never being able to sing again plunge me into extreme distress, forcing me to walk in the most total unknown: who am I if I no longer have my voice?
This extreme situation gives me the need to confront my creativity without my main instrument: my voice
I settled in for 4 days at Maison Mouton with the only constraint of letting what comes come, even if nothing happens.
“DE TOUT ORDRE VIENDRA LE CHAOS" (FROM ALL ORDER, WILL COME CHAOS) is the culmination of this residency. On the last day of residency, I put what I had done end to end to create this object. The voice came again.
Listen to the project here.
