Lucile Saada Choquet

Lucile Saada Choquet (she/adopted – FR) is a decolonial artist based in Brussels. After studying performing arts in Normandy, she trained as an actress at Arts²/Ecole Supérieure des Arts (Belgium). Coming from an artistic formation anchored in a racist and eurocentric cultural heritage, she develops and questions her own artistic language. Defining herself
as an artivist, Lucile Saada experiments in each of her gestures a decolonial practice of art (programming, play, dramaturgy). Preoccupied by the trace, she creates scenic devices – performance, installation – which put into play political bodies and rethink collective imaginary. With her first creation, JUSQUE DANS NOS LITS, she situates her work in the place of a collective repair of the colonial trauma. She makes radical artistic choices that embrace issues of representation in terms of gender, race and class. As an adoptee, in 2022 she will conduct an artistic inquiry into transracial and transnational adoption.
