Welcome ab(r)oa()rd !

My name is Adrien, I'm from Paris and living now in Toulouse, a beautiful town in the South-west of France which is told to be "the pink city" due to the colour of the bricks by the sunset.
I am an actor, stage director, writer and also translator from japanese to french (especially plays of Yukio Mishima, an artist that I'd love to tell you about). I can also play piano and a bit of trumpet.

But even more important : I'm found of traveling and mostly alone. For me, travelling means sharing with people and even if you can share and meet people when you travel with friends or with your boy-girl/friend, I still believe that travelling alone is a unique experience that allows to meet more people and to "meet back" yourself.

Here's a very private video of a work I've done last year for an audition : https://youtu.be/lEvCwLjL5h4
Maybe you'll find your language in it ;)

Then, for the most curious and the most corageous of you, you can see me "living" in that :

(Don't worry, I'm not yelling and I'm nooooooot at all like that in the real life !)

(This second video is to show you that I can also be kind and gentle :p)

And for those who'd like to see my work as a theater director and as an actor, you can have a look on Instagram :

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not interested in traveling in a closed box far from the local people. For me, traveling means meeting and sharing. Sharing cultures, ways of thinking, languages, food, political views, everything as long as there's respect and kindness.

To me, the most important thing in this life is to share with other human beings. That's the only thing I'm sure about.

Interests

Theater, books, philosophy, photography, poetry, paiting, food ! Well... Anyway, I'm very curious, so my interests are nearly everything.

• culture
• books
• poetry
• theater
• photography
• acting
• dining
• traveling
• teaching
• roadtrips
• translating

Music, Movies, and Books

First.. I'm very disappointed cause we can't talk about Paintings. I'm crazy about painting, since my mother was a painter. So let's make a true and important revolution on this website/app and let's talk about paintings !
I love Turner, Munch, Bosch, Kandinsky, Klee... I must say that I was very found of impressionists when I was a bit younger, and the more I'm growing up the more I'm interested in non figurative paintings. I'm more sensitive to colours and shapes than a landscape.

Regarding the musics... I'm curious about everything, but I have something for traditional folk songs but not only as you could hear in the following musics. But but... I have to tell that I'm not really into super industrial commercial music. Well, it depends, but. Voilà ! Ahah

Musics of the moment :

Movies... Movies... All the movies I'm acting in, of course :p
No no, that was a joke, right.
Truffaut and Tarkovsky movies...
La Grande Bellezza
Jodorowsky movies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU6_2f9VNdI => Just ,WAOUH)
... Aaaah, I've got no inspiration here !

And books :
I'd say my favourite writer is Dostoïevsky ! I love absolutely every sentence of his books.
I'm also very into Yukio Mishima, as I wrote upper in the profile.
I'm in love with Arthur Rimbaud whom I'd love to make you discovers the writings if you don't know them.
And as a theater-cliché-man, I love Shakespeare, Claudel, Molière, Racine, Büchner, Pasolini, Nazim Hikmet, Mamhoud Darwich, Tchekhov...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Owh. Too much pressure ! :p
I'll figure one to tell you when we'll meet ! Promise !

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking.
Teaching french, japanese.
Playing for you and/or teaching you piano / trumpet basics !
Acting.
Anything you'd like to know about France !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just to feel the good vibes of our generation. I have the feeling that our generation wants a real peace and has humanist ambitions. Couchsurfing seems to be a prove of it. I just want to share who I am with people from all around the world. We need that nowadays.

I can talk about mostly anything for hours, since I'm very curious !
Can talk about art, and theater of course.
Can play piano for you, can cook french food for you and can even learn you some french if you're interested into it :)

Then... I think I'm kind easy-to-live person and quite funny. At least, I hope so !
