Matthieu Barbin

Matthieu Barbin is an artist, performer. He is also a drag queen under the name of Sara Forever. Invited by Hortense Archambault and Vincent Baudriller, he participated in the Kadmos research group as part of the 2013 Avignon Festival. In 2018, he created his first piece, the solo totemic studies, small portraits. The piece will be performed in many festivals. The same year, he created the performance Dans les bras de Bobby. In 2020 he created The hundred thousand last quarters of an hour. His work is based in particular on the superimposition of virtuosity and oral physicalities, relying on various supports that he twists in multiple directions in order to go deep into a plastic stretching of the bodies and characters crossed. Often working with intimate materials as a starting point, he expands them to embrace a wide range of absorbed and reincarnated bodies or uncertain, intermediate definitions through which the absurd can sometimes emerge.
