Originally focused on visual effects for feature-length films (VFX), Hugo Arcier has worked for prestigious directors such as Roman Polanski and Alain Resnais. In 2004 he began creating visual works using a new art form. He was made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in 2016.

With painting and theater as companions, Cyril Teste looks at a stage with the eye of an author, visual artist, and videographer. He has been an associated artist at Bonlieu Scène nationale Annecy since 2017 and has produced several plays there.

The MxM Collective is always up to date with the world of modern arts. Working with contemporary texts for theater, its members invent a spoken language in which actors are the center of a universe built of images, sound, light, and new technologies.
