I am a French puppeteer, visual theatre director, dramaturg, performer and graphic designer, working in Helsinki.

I obtained in 2007 a master degree in French literature at the University Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle. I then graduated in 2013 from the puppetry department of Turku Arts Academy. I am a founding member of TeatteriQo and of Metropolitan Puppets ry.

In my artistic work, I want to reach out towards people, towards their stories and towards their cultures. Through object, visual and puppet theatre, I look for ways to bring out the universality and humanity that lies within the everyday.

My works often articulates poetry and social issues, such as immigration, inequality, isolation. In 2020, I participated in transforming a caravan into a touring theatre space.
