Matthieu Rainbow is a multidisciplinary artist using the performing arts to foster social change, challenge cultural narratives, and inspire self-transformation. He holds a Master’s degree in Performing Arts (2017) and a Bachelor’s in Dance (2015) from Paris 8 University. With more than 15 years of experience working between Europe and Africa, Matthieu has developed a transcultural perspective on art-making. In addition to his creative work, Matthieu teaches yoga and facilitates dance workshops that encourage self-discovery, acceptance, community building, and holistic wellness through movement.

Matthieu likes to think of the body as a site of endless possibilities to deconstruct and reimagine identity. This philosophy is reflected in the many dance styles and artistic practices he has studied, including contemporary dance, Vogue, Krump, Butoh, West African Dance, Theatre, and Singing. His work blends genres, flirts with both popular and experimental aesthetics, and embraces multiplicity and vulnerability through poetic, oniric, and thought-provoking performances.
