A trans activist artist, Jenny Victoire Charreton is a musician, technical director, and performer. She seeks porosity between her fields of practice and considers artistic creation a political act charged with strong emotion.

Her practice brings together sound and lighting management across several festivals—including the World Festival of Puppet Theatres—technical management for Compagnie Dans le Ventre, and musical direction, performance, and music composition with CIRQUE QUEER. From this plurality of experiences, she develops an “undisciplined” practice: performance, musical composition, drawing, digital puppetry, and writing.

In 2021, with Collectif offense, she created Dans Mon Dessin — Anatomie de transition, a multimedia performance on gender transition. Voler le Feu is its sequel, created in November 2025. Both works belong to the larger repertoire Anatomie du départ, a long-term project by Collectif offense exploring departures with no return.

Collectif offense

Founded in 2018 in Toulouse, Collectif offense brings together artists from circus, theatre, music, performance, illustration, and literature. Trained at ENSATT, Le Lido, the CRR de Lyon, or self-taught, they share a commitment to experimenting with collective, transdisciplinary creation and to developing narratives rooted in their own lived realities.

Since 2020, the collective has been working on Anatomie du départ, a body of work built around departures with no return—moving house, breakups, bereavement, transitions, ageing. Polymorphic performances, shows, exhibitions, and collective experiences: multiple attempts at being together, always searching for the most fitting medium to tell these stories.
