Full-time professional playwright (since 2022). A former information systems engineer, I combine a practical knowledge of theatre (conservatory training, company experience, café-theatre management) with a distinctive understanding of today’s social and digital issues. My writing aims to dismantle through laughter the threatening systems of our contemporary world.
Theme: Through absurdity and biting satire, the play dissects masculinism, its conspiracy theories and its survivalist drifts.
Theme: How can a man who is neither mad nor sadistic knowingly decide to poison the land on which his own children are growing up? The action takes place on an unspecified Caribbean island.
Theme: A humorous and philosophical comedy about the resilience and survival of Western civilization when faced with cultural shock and the ecological threat.
Theme: A plunge into the heart of a troll factory. Behind the heavy suspense and black humor, the activities of information warfare targeting our democracies are methodically dissected.
Theme: A satire of the drift of 24-hour news channels, through a race for a tainted scoop.
