Who we are

 

ALTER EGO (X) was founded by Julie Crantelle and Théo Majcher, two creators who develop projects at the intersection of artistic creation, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. The name ALTER EGO reflects both their artistic and personal partnership. The (X) represents everyone who brings the project to life—artists, collaborators, partners, venues, and audiences. Because ALTER EGO (X) is, above all, a collective adventure.

Théo Majcher defines himself as a creator of stories, networks, and spaces for dialogue on a European scale. His career combines artistic direction of cultural and media projects, facilitation of public debates, and strategic support for independent organizations. Actively involved in European cultural networks and a member of the executive committee of Reset! Network, he works to strengthen cooperation between cultural actors and independent media. Within ALTER EGO (X), he develops international partnerships and supports local authorities, institutions, and cultural organizations in transforming their projects into concrete and sustainable actions. Convinced that culture is a space of living democracy, he is committed to making international cooperation accessible and grounded in real-world realities.

Julie Crantelle develops projects at the intersection of theatre, documentary filmmaking, and cultural education. Trained at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and La Fémis' Documentary Workshop, she creates hybrid formats that combine live performance, audiovisual storytelling, and participatory practices. Specialising in place-based cultural projects, she collaborates with artists, institutions, and public authorities to develop collective narratives rooted in local realities. Her work explores questions of identity, memory, and social dynamics, using art as a space for dialogue and cooperation. At ALTER EGO (X), Julie conceives and leads artistic projects as well as mentoring and capacity-building programmes that help artists and cultural organisations clarify their vision and develop sustainable, long-term projects.
