Biography
Biography
From his first works published by P.O.L. to writing for the theater with Ludovic Lagarde, opera librettos for Pascal Dusapin and translations of biblical texts (Book of Hosea, Psalms, Song of Songs) and Gertrude Stein. For a number of years, he has been passing on his own texts in readings at national drama centers and the Théâtre national de la Colline. His writing is strongly influenced by the literary avant-gardes of the 20th century: Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, William S. Burroughs, among others.Like many writers of his generation, he was influenced by Roland Barthes seminars. His first aesthetic shock came when he read Stéphane Mallarmé poem Pour un Tombeau d'Anatole. In his writing, he demonstrates a constant concern for formal invention, with cuts, breaks and simultaneities. Yet his aim is always to “make complicated things simple”. In 1993, with Pierre Alféri, he founded the Revue de littérature générale, which produced two opuses. He has released three albums with guitarist and singer Rodolphe Burger. He has released three albums with guitarist and singer Rodolphe Burger. In July 2010, he was named associate artist of the Festival d'Avignon alongside Christoph Marthaler.
