Schaum Performance with Leo for the Feminismen Festival in Halle/Saale (2023)
We offer people to wash their hair after they chose between ten bottles of shampoo we made ourselves.
Each of them was related to a different poem which was talking about pain.
So we tried to heal these sorrows by making shampoo for the people who were feeling them.
Les passeuses with Lucie Mao for the Biennale 2022 du Sentier des Passeurs in the Vosges (France)
We asked our friends for their favourite passages from books.
We embroidered them on large pieces of fabric.
Then we hung them up along a path in the forest.
"I can feel you aching
None of this was written in stone
There is nothing we’re forbidden to know
And I feel things are changing"

"Do you like the dark?" Anna nodded: "It makes you big. It makes day prisons huge
and no longer narrow." Rübezahl laughed softly. "Really, really", he said.
"And I like the darkness because I can think about myself there and look for clarity.
In the daytime, others think about me, and most of it is wrong. Do you understand that?"

"L'usine à poèmes" with the Collectif Noun
between 2022 and 2023 in Strasbourg (France)
We have built a "Factory of poetry" out of cardboard and took it to differents places.
The people ask us for poems and we write them inside the factory with typewriter.
When they're written, we first read the poems into a megaphone and then give them to the people who ordered them.
Les allées venues, collectiv poetry evening,
European Artistic Culture Museum, Strasbourg (France), 2018
With my friend, writer, and performer Sébastien Hoffmann,
we made three books that told the story of a journey across seas, steppes and deserts.
We two and some artists guests presented them to the public with readings, music and shadows effects.
Le cheval de troie, happening,
Strasbourgs streets, with the Collectif Noun, 2017
During Strasbourg's Christmas market, the army is present and searches everyone
crossing the city's bridges to go into the city centre.
"This is an anti-terrorist measure", says the government.
With the Noun collective, we built a Trojan horse out of cardboard, hid inside it
and then went over to the next bridge to see if they would let us through...

L'atlantico, Strasbourg (France), 2017

Noun savons pas niquer le système, performativ group action,
Collectif Noun, Senones (France), 2017
The Noun collective was invited by the Hélicoop association to create a show to celebrate the opening of its exhibition at Senones Abbey. We created a piece divided into chapters, moving from room to room until it ended up in the garden of the site.
Noun savons pas mordre, poetry evening, Collectif Noun,
European Artistic Culture Museum, Strasbourg (France), 2017
The Noun collective has been invited by CEAAC to present a poetry event. We created a show especially for this venue and evening. The audience was seated throughout the gallery and the scenes followed one another from different sides of the space. The costumes and sets were created on site by the members of the collective. It was a one-shot show. It was sometimes very bad and sometimes fantastic.
Ralentir chaufferie, performativ group installation,
La Chaufferie, Strasbourg (France), 2016
This is a performative installation conceived for the "Avant-Première" exhibition in the HEAR's "Chaufferie" gallery. The space is dark and filled with metal machines that turn and make noise. We sing songs. The audience is transported through the space on wheeled trolleys. It's a factory that goes faster and faster, louder and louder.
