I saw Tuaregs walking endlessly through the moonlit blue desert; and I imagined that this universe was steeped in a reassuring eternity.
BIO
Louis Mallié
Multidisciplinary Artist
Born in 1992, with a Master's in Modern Literature from the Sorbonne, I am a freelance journalist, publishing in Libération, ActuaLitté, and Manifesto XXI on topics of society — the book economy, working conditions, literary criticism. As an author and performer, I write and perform a piece on war crimes (*Un homme de plus*, Manufacture des Abbesses, 2022). My dramatic comedy Lazare won the Institut du Théâtre International prize. In 2023, I published Kel Awal, my first novel with Éditions du Crabe. I trained at the Ateliers du Cinéma de Claude Lelouch and worked on his latest film *Finalement*. I have directed two documentaries and several short films selected at over ten festivals, as well as music videos. As a pianist and composer under the name Cyrille, I perform in Lyon, Marseille, Beaune, Nantes, and the île d'Yeu. My debut album Pilgrim in a Garden was released in 2025, alongside the EP Haramata recorded in duo with trumpeter Yanis Peaudeau.
