Spongebabe in L.A.
(4 love & anxiety) | 2024
Sponge is a self-portrait combining fiction and reality in the chimerical form of a concert, a dance performance, and a peek behind-the-scenes. During rehearsals for a concert that alternates between songs, intimate or political statements to the audience and choreographic interludes, a singer tells a fictional story that addresses the theme of mutation, those moments in life when we have no other choice but to metamorphose.
RUUPTUUR | 2022
RUUPTUUR is a performance of the act of change, whether it is intimate, poetic or political. A multiple embodiment of thoughts and needs for rupture (like when it’s unavoidable).
B4 summer | 2020
In a highly desired process of engagement in a global struggle, B4 summer is a rallying cry. An emotional cry about the endless challenges of engagement.
i-clit | 2018
i-clit, a performance-manifesto of the body, in the flesh, and in which the sexual object becomes the subject. A new wave of feminism was born – ultra-connected, ultra-sexual and more popular. But facing the ambivalent power of pop culture, where and how to position yourself in this battle as a young woman? What weapons should be used? i-clit tracks these moments of fragility, where we oscillate between new forms of oppression and empowerment.
