Mackenzy Bergile is a Franco-Haitian interdisciplinary artist — choreographer, pianist, poet, and researcher —whose work addresses issues of memory, domination, and transmission through the body and gesture.

Trained in both traditional Haitian dance, Afro-American and contemporary dance, classical music, and visual arts,
he develops a body of work at the intersection of performance, theoretical research, and postcolonial critique.

His approach is rooted in an aesthetics of friction and indiscipline: he tensions dominant narratives by invoking
repressed symbols, reconfigured myths, and subverted rituals. Through immersive and performative devices, he explores diasporic bodies as sites of memory, political inscription, and imaginary counter-power.

His works have been presented in various contexts — museums, festivals, educational institutions — and are accompanied by active critical thought, particularly within the platform Regard Sur Le Geste, where he publishes immersive articles on the choreopolitical implications of live art and writing from the margins.
