Patrick has been a Tribu Hérisson collective member since 2000. He supports many projects and develops the visual and play-like dimension of improvisation.
His involvement on different object theatre shows has sharpened his interest for manufacturing and organizing the exhibit «Aires de Cirques, Annexes et Dépendances» (Circus areas, annexes and dependences – numerous exhibits since 2002).
