As a daughter of an artist mother and a political scientist father, I have always been immersed in visual arts, theater, dance, and circus. Perhaps out of denial or rebellion, I only started studying dance after trying the international relations program at UQAM. I decided to follow my instinct, this visceral, organic call that still colors my artistic approach today, and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in contemporary dance as well as the William Douglas Excellence Award from UQAM in 2020. After graduating, I directly flew to Europe to deepen my practice and pursue my personal training. Paris welcomed me with open arms: I danced, worked, taught, learned, loved, cried. In 2022, I became Amanda Pina's interpreter for her performative work Frontera/Procesion: a Ritual del Agua presented as part of Festival d’Automne in Paris as well as in Berlin and Madrid in 2023. It has been five years since I left Montreal. I came back for Big Bang but also for myself. I felt I needed to. Now I am here. Maybe I will stay. Maybe I’ll leave again to go elsewhere. In the meantime, I am glad to be here.​

Artistic statement

The hybrid body, the transformed body live within me. A corporality transformed by the past, the present, in a slow and constant mutation. A temporal, spiritual, and physical metamorphosis: I am alive in our bodies, in our memories, in our recollections.​

“And here, the body is more than a pretext to celebrate life and its overflowing.

Something is conjured”
