First, it’s listening.

To relate to beings, voices and forms of knowledge whose languages cannot be fully understood. To approach translation not as the transfer of fixed meanings, but as a process of imitation, transformation and encounter.

Shaped by a background in dance and by oral and embodied knowledge transmitted through my community, I develop situations in which listening becomes physical: one listens, moves, breathes, sings, responds, improvises, resonates… Very often, I play with forms such as altars, landscapes, ceremonies, or vernacular dances, creating installations, performances or spaces of action where different forms of knowledge can meet without necessarily becoming one another.

Bringing together questions of language, transmission, ritual and more-than-human relations, I search for a tenderness that might connect one heart to another, for a primordial sense of recognition: in the stars, in a birdsong, in the other, something that may help us to listen better in the further.
