Mathias Lyon

Mathias Lyon, who was born in the Paris region but is of American and Cherokee (Native American) descent, develops his imagination from these cultures. When he comes into contact with horses, his inspirations become palpable. Access to this sensory world has led him to dance, hip hop to be precise, a dance and culture that reconnects with tribal traditions. Through these practices he explores a hybrid state, between animality and metamorphosis. At the age of seventeen, he joined the Zingaro company as a rider and dancer, and stayed for ten years. Today, his practice is the sum of all these experiences.
