He trained as an acrobat at the \u00c9cole Nationale de Cirque de Montr\u00e9al\/Tiohti\u00e0:ke, where he learned to create circus spaces in three dimensions. He developed his personal practice in a duet: next to a large mat in the shape of a donut (<em>Within 2019<\/em>). In this work he combines the circus body, sound movements and visual arts. He then opened up to performance art alongside Peter James (<em>REDAMNSION 2022<\/em>) and Nien Tzu Weng (<em>Through us _comme espaces_ passions<\/em>, 2021).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continues to experiment with prosthetics and an intimate relationship with the object, while moving towards compositional work. He was shortlisted for circusnext 2023 with <em>Broths\/ et autres paysages<\/em>, co-written with Maxime Steffan.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is currently working on his new creation <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EMPTINESS is merveilleux<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this solo, to be performed in 2026, he explores the void, accompanied by a warm solitude and a new set of prosthetic objects.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among his other projects, he has collaborated with the collectives Valby Ruta (QC) and The Circus Dialogues (BE). He is a performer in <em>La Danse d&rsquo;Amazon<\/em>, created in Berlin in 2023 by the German company Rimini Protokoll.\u00a0 He is also the outside eye for the acrobat Lili Parson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He believes it&rsquo;s important to remain curious, to constantly question the political place of his work and to continue to meet other
