After an initiation to ballet and a solid musical training at the conservatory, Marielle left her native island of Martinique for New York to complete her artistic training, specializing in dance.
In Paris she continued her professional formation in various artistic disciplines, including dance, theatre, singing and drums. She started her professional career first as a dancer, and then as a performance artist. In parallel, Marielle studied at the University of Paris VIII, where she graduated in Performing Arts.
Marielle’s stage experience is wide, from performing on stage for the famous Folies Bergères to the Opera Comique in Paris and Opera of Compiegne. She has performed across Europe and her video work has been exhibited around the world.

Artistic approach
Performance- artist, creator of artistic performances using different supports, Marielle creates by offering a singular vision where arts and movements mix, always in the search of an unformatted writing. Its starting point: the body-interiority relationship towards a universal language.

Artistic approach
Lukas is crafting collages of neo-classical, experimental and electronic compositions, with hint of traditional influences, yet made in a modern way. He is searching for originality in values that music can manifest. His intention is to provide music for contemplative listening, exploration and traveling in mind.
