Romeo Henchoz

Actor, playwright and social worker

Life is short, so Roméo has chosen to explore just two fields that fascinate

him: theatre and people. After completing a bachelor’s degree in social work,

he began developing his professional artistic practice in 2020, alongside his

work as a social worker specialising in addiction.

From the age of 7 to 18, he trained in amateur theatre and took part in around

thirty different productions. He became an independent actor at the age of 20

and has since collaborated with several Swiss professional theatre companies

(100 Doutes, Rapsody, Pan-Européenne, La Décharge). He co-founded the

new circus company “En Show”, where he explores writing, directing and

production. He also works as a director for other companies, such as Rapsody

(La Foire aux enfants).

Driven by this interest in theatre and people, he continues his research as part

of his master’s degree at Accademia Dimitri, focusing on the representation of

people affected by addiction. He also deepens his exploration of physical

theatre, mask theatre and object theatre, searching for new aesthetic forms

and theatrical languages. Perhaps a way to speak a little better (or a little less

badly) about theatre… but above all, about people.
