Welcome to my world !!!! I'm so glad you're here :)
I am a forest! An incredibly fertile place where beautiful, colorful, weird and funny trees grow. As well as imaginary plants, flowers that do not exist in reality, ideas of all kinds
For a long time, I applied the same treatment to myself as I do to today's forests. I cut, pruned, hid, ignored everything that grew naturally on my own land. I put aside my ideas that I thought were too crazy, I cut off my ideas for shows with weeding thoughts like 'too crazy', 'too expensive'. I spent a lot of energy to deforest myself from within.
For a long time I thought I was lazy because I had trouble finishing my projects. I was actually exhausted because I spent my time cutting, trimming or ignoring what gives me joy and therefore energy: creating whatever I am deeply excited about.
For those who want to know more
Éléonore has a large pocket in which she has put a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the National School of Art and Design in Dublin (2004), a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology (Nanterre 2006) and she has just added to it a Bachelor of Arts in Guiding (Marne La Vallée 2019). Éléonore's career path resembles her illustrations: convoluted and original. One can have the impression that everything is tangled up, but it all fits together with several common threads: a great curiosity, the need to understand everything, the desire to laugh and the need to slow down time.
Éléonore would like time to take a nap sometimes to better enjoy and savor each moment. To press the pause button and because stories are magnificent gift-wrapping papers to transmit and share all that she discovers and understands, Éléonore has staged her stories which have become shows: A Spoonful of Silence in 2009, MaDam in 2011. She began illustrating them to fit in books so that everyone could take the stories home. L’Irlande bien tourbée 2015. The project she is most proud of and the most hilarious project she has done is MY FAIR MOT, when she organized classes in Dublinese -the popular Dublin language- taught by inner city children to adult foreigners. Eléonore wants to continue in this vein, that humans remain humans, that we relearn our humanity.
In this perspective, Eléonore has just created Tea with Marie Antoinette, in addition to bringing history to life, it is a way to meet the human being behind the queen and what made her act as she did.
Her latest project is 'LA REPUBLIQUE DANS MON CORPS' - A funny and touching one man show about the importance and the difficulty of listening to one's inner voice - Currently being created
