Born in Paris, he grew up in Marseille. His mother being Brazilian, Romain has spoken Portuguese and French since childhood. He studied design and performance art at ISAT (Institut Supérieur des Arts de Toulouse) and ESBANM (Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Nantes Métropole).
In 2013, Romain moved to Lisbon to follow the PEPCC choreographic research training offered by Forum Dança. In this city, he fell in love with a British man and learned English. From that moment on, Romain decided to take on oral expression and language as the central axis of his research. He created “Elisabeth” (2014), a play in Portuguese, English and French.
In 2016, seeking to immerse himself in an unknown language, Romain travelled to Japan and created the piece “Légende” (2017), a conference dealing with his fictional research on the language of birds. Legend was presented at Be Festival Birmingham in 2017 and is part of the Best of Be Festival tour in the UK and Spain between 2018 and 2019.
