Aux côtés de Hugo Mir-Valette, he took part in the ‘Résistances & Désobéissances’ programme, a cross-residency organised by the Citadelle as part of the 2026 Mediterranean Season, initiated by the Institut Français. He takes as his starting point the imprisonment between 1939 and 1942 at the Citadelle in Marseille of Habib Bourguiba, the Tunisian independence leader who later became the country’s head of state. In doing so, he raises the specific question of the role of prison as a place where forms of resistance and disobedience are forged.
