Julien Beramis

Year/s of residence : 2024, On~des

Visual arts

Julien Béramis is a multidisciplinary artist. For him, theater is an essential space of exploration, instilling in him the discipline necessary to achieve total freedom of expression. He has notably performed in works such as Les Nègres by Jean Genet, Venus Hottentot by Suzan-Lori Parks, and Caligula by Albert Camus.

Cinema also offers him the opportunity to refine his art through films like Paris, je t’aime, Omar m’a tuer, Les Derniers jours du monde, Le Rêve Français, as well as the series Tropiques Criminels.

Over time, his engagement in dance, writing Vìré, filmmaking Atopias: The Homeless Wanderer, and music LÊG has not only broadened his creative horizon but also deepened his understanding and perception of the world. Originally from and residing in Guadeloupe, Julien is particularly inspired by the collective memories that connect the island’s inhabitants to their volcanic landscape, a place teeming with complex and deeply rooted stories.

By exploring these Caribbean narratives and mythologies through artistic expression, Julien Béramis seeks to summon and reclaim these missing fragments of memory, reinterpreting them in our contemporary world to better understand our relationship to it. His work aspires to transcend cultural specificities, demonstrating that rooting oneself in a local identity can serve as a bridge to a broader and more universal understanding of the world.
