Pauline Brun borrows from the Japanese practice of Chindogu in her method: TAPIES – from (to) crouch – is an assembly of DIY creations, hacks, and attempts aimed at solving performative situations through ineffective means. At Buda, she will work with her collaborators – Diane Blondeau, Adaline Anobile, and Marcos Simões – primarily focusing on light and sound creation and finalizing the writing of the piece.

Pauline Brun is a choreographer, performer, and visual artist. Her work, which bridges visual art and choreography, plays with different media, exploring the body with self-mockery and absurdity. Trained at the Conservatory of Nice, Villa Arson, the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and ex.e.r.ce at the CCN in Montpellier, her work unfolds in the form of shows, performances, videos, drawings, and installations, including Scruffy Shot (2018), Poutre (2020), Raide d’équerre (2022), Tie-Tool created with Marcos Simões (2022), and Gna Gna Gna (Live) (2018-2024). In 2023, she was awarded a residency program at the Villa Kujoyama, where she explored the concept of Chindogu.

As a performer or set designer, she has collaborated with, among others, Fanny De Chaillé and Philippe Ramette, Alain Buffard (reprise Mauvais Genre), Pol Pi, Jule Flierl, Nina Santes, Adaline Anobile, Jonas Chéreau, Antoine Cegarra, Gaetan Rusquet, Charlotte Imbault, and Diederik Peeters. In parallel, she teaches performance at the École des Beaux-Arts in Marseille. In 2021, she founded the company NO SMALL MESS with Bettina Blanc Penther.
