Erwan, trainer, coach, and Visual Vernacular performer, was born in Nancy  and grew up in a bilingual environment (French Sign Language – LSF and written French). Since childhood, he has been passionate about the visual world: cinema, comics, 3D animation, video games, and manga.

For more than 15 years, he taught French Sign Language to hearing audiences while also developing strong skills in audiovisual production, video editing, design, and web animation. With a background in multimedia and graphic design, he now connects these technical skills with his artistic work on stage.

Since 2015, he has been teaching and performing Visual Vernacular – an artistic language combining body expression, sign languages, and visual theater. A student of the French deaf actor Simon Attia, Erwan has created his own unique style of VV, which he now shares through workshops, training, and performances across Europe and internationally.

Erwan communicates fluently in several sign languages: French, Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, and International Sign. He also understands many other variants, enabling him to connect with diverse audiences and build bridges between deaf communities worldwide.

His work has taken him to international stages and cultural events, bringing together people from different backgrounds. In 2019, his play “2080: Who Killed Sign Language?” won two awards (Best Screenplay and Best Actor) at the International Festival Territory of Gesture in Moscow. Since then, he continues to create, perform, and promote Visual Vernacular as a living and universal art form.
