In my feminist reflections, the question of the systemic invisibility of women playfully intersected with my work as a puppeteer. Even as, in 2025, we patiently uncover all the recurring instances of women's erasure (in history, in public spaces, in our daily lives), I questioned the link between my struggles and my practices. And my contradictions, too. How, for example, do I render myself invisible in favor of the puppet and blend into the background, or conversely, how do I kill the puppet and step into the spotlight? Why did I choose this particular profession?.
 
A disturbing and sociologically attested phenomenon: it seems that from the age of 50, women mysteriously vanish from our representations…
But where are they going?
 
Hooded or not, with or without a puppet, I invite you to share these reflections, which lead me towards the creation of...’Invisible, monologue for a woman on the verge of disappearing, scheduled to premiere in the fall of 2028.
