Juliette Séjourné is an artist and performer intersecting theater, music and art installation. She performs in a variety of venues and contexts, from opera houses on international tour (Shanghai, Tianjin and Harbin opera houses) and concert halls (Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, Théâtre de la Colline, Institut du Monde Arabe…) to interventions in basilicas, cinemas, greenhouses, gardens, schools, universities, social welfare centers, hospitals (Consultations Poétiques du Théâtre de la Ville) and even scientific symposia.
Graduated from the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris, Juliette also conducted research in History of music at École Normale Supérieure de Cachan. To explore new grounds, she has also trained on research-creation practices and technologies, notably at Ircam (Paris) and during a year of research and creation at ENS Paris-Saclay.
Throughout her diverse creations, she investigates the “inner voice” and its different forms of expression. This question merges with a broader reflection on “attention”: how are we attentive or distracted? And how do we get closer to ourselves, through an object, an art-work or a meta-work?
Recently she created the interactive installation “Tuskumo-café” (2023), which she presented at the Drôles d’objets conference in May 2023 and at Recto-VRso during Laval Virtual in March 2024. In spring 2023, she joins the research unit Nuclear Knowledges (CERI – Sciences Po) for a residency and formalises a research-creation project, called “Our Things”.
