In 2015, he wrote and directed C.E.L.I.A., a musical science-fiction play which toured for 2 years in the Rhône-Alpes region, notably at the Théâtre des Marronniers in Lyon.

In 2016, he created "Comment on fait des adultes?", a unique show for 4 young artists from different backgrounds (circus, theater, music) and fresh out of their studies.

In 2017, he remounted and directed "Tête de Linotte" with Johan Roussey on stage.

In 2018, he wrote and created "La Fontaine des Larmes" and "Le Cabinet de Curiosité", returning to what made him want to be in the business in the first place: telling great stories to make people dream and think.

At the same time, he discovered street art with Cie du Fil à retordre and by directing the show "Ravages à Ratbord" by Héloïse Rodot. He also co-directed Interface, a multi-disciplinary project combining shows and exhibitions for a month in a chapel in Chambéry.

He also runs various workshops, with teenagers and for schools that want to set up art projects.

During the COVID period, the cabinet de curiosité was reinvented in a series of videos on YouTube, and the ultra-mobile version was created for 2022, followed by a tour of various festivals (Fenêtre sur cosmos, Les Tailleurs, Festival Nomade etc.).

In 2022, he also set up workshops to create a cabinet of curiosities at the Peter Pan school in Saint Gilles, and took part in theater initiations at the 4 Seasons school in Saint Gilles under the aegis of LA Roseraie.
