As a puppeteer, visual artist and magician, Violaine Fimbel is at the crossroads of different artistic languages.

In 2011, she joined the IXth graduating class of ESNAM (Ecole Supérieure Nationale des Arts de la Marionnette).

In October 2014, she founded her company, Yôkaï, and took her first show Volatil(e)s to Finland, Germany, Brazil and

Japan.

From 2016 to 2018, she joined the New Magic training program at the CNAC (Centre National des Arts du Cirque), under the aegis of R.Navarro and V.Losseau of Cie 14:20. This was followed by close collaboration projects, such as Possession, invited to the Jeunes Talents Magie Nouvelle at the Théâtre du Rond-Point in Paris in 2017, or the creation of an exhibition as part of BIAC 2019 in Marseille; Killing Alice.

This was followed by another creation, Gimme Shelter/Donne-moi un abri, which premiered in September 2019 at the Festival Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes de Charleville- Mézières.

Convinced of the infinitely rich aspect of special effects linked to hidden animation at a distance, she embarked on a research project around this theme, called Réveil Invisible. The innovative nature of Violaine's artistic approach was

recognized by the Prix de la Création et de L’Expérimentation by the Institut International de la Marionnette at the recent Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes in September 2021.

The latest creation, Nature Morte/ Still Life, began touring in September 2023.

Laureate and Resident of the Villa Albertine in New York in May-June 2024 with her research project Réveil Invisible research project, she has conceived a creation based on it, called Echo(e)s. This creation will integrate the remote mode initiated during her last New York residency, Hidden Twin.
