Unfolding from the genre of autofiction, my performances are bridging sound design, music, and storytelling; weaving in autobiographical memories and projections to both existing and fictional narratives.

The intermedia project TALOS is based on an electroacoustic composition and a booklet, recently published by Les éditions Le Laps (2023). Staging the conjunction of my musical (voice + electroacoustic), performance and writing practices, the work takes place simultaneously in the past, present and future, in a temporal remix from which emerge mainly the themes of memory and water. Elements, entities and memories invite themselves to this clumsy ballet, which takes place in territories as sonic as forested, mined and borrowed, and which the protagonist crosses in plural languages.

While liminal embodiment is the main axis of my research, embodied and theoretical, Musagètes understands the experience of the audience as twofold; physical and digital. Simultaneously located in materiality where the performance takes place, as well as virtually, where its filming occurs in real time.
