Metteur-en-scène/Scenographer and researcher

Performing Arts Research Centre, Uniarts Helsinki,

"I began my carreer in theatre, initially as an actor and later as a director. However, I moved away from straight theatre practices and modes of production, focusing instead on how the notions of stage and theatricality evolve in response to climate urgency and technological advancements, within what I name a discipline-fluid methodology. My artworks merge visual, installation, and performing arts, and is rooted in intervention and site-sensitive ecologies. While exploring alternative scenographic ways to engage with contemporary, multiple, and complex  - i.e. biospheric and computational - simultaneous environments, I am involved in investigative and collaborative processes that concretely respond to the term 'artistic research' that I ecosystemically understand and implement as research through art-making, and its dissemination through experiential and sensory formats of collective knowledge construction. My aesthetic aim is to revise theatre boundaries by deconstructing traditional production patterns, testing what I call 're-ecologising theatre'. By playing obliquely with the memory of Western theatre, its conventions and internal operating modes, its architecture, and its literature, I, therefore, transform my practice of directing into what I call 'redirecting'. Redirecting methods, agencies, relations, and temporalities thus generates scenographic responses that question the heritage of an anthropocentrism embedded in the very mechanism of Western theatre. In 2020, I completed my Doctorate in Arts at the Performing Arts Research Centre of Uniarts Helsinki, with my artistic research project ‘Reacclimating the Stage’. After that, I have been conducting the four-year post-doctoral artistic research project DATA OCEAN THEATRE, as a visiting researcher at the same institution."
