Jacqueline Dupuis:
Fairy tales? A world of my own! I started storytelling training without any particular expectations, thinking, “Let’s see where it goes!” And I ended up loving it! Sweet, salty, tangy, gentle, spicy—it depends. An experienced storyteller, trained by and member of Contemuse.
Marie-Laure Beun:
Intriguing and joyfully quirky, I tell wild adventures where heroes fall, fly, are reborn, get lost, and transform. Nothing ever goes as planned—and that’s when the magic happens. Trained in the art of storytelling, I began in a bilingual duo before forging my own path during storytelling evenings.
Catherine Bastianel:
I’ve always loved stories—listening to them, reading them, telling them. My background in improvisation and narrative theatre led me to explore storytelling through body, rhythm, and presence. I later trained in storytelling with Catherine Gaillard in Geneva. For me, storytelling is about making words resonate and opening up a space of shared imagination.
Malina Billod:
My love for storytelling has grown over the years! I’ve been telling stories monthly for the past five years. In 2024, I joined forces with other regional storytellers to create a storytelling group based around the Public Library of Veveyse. I share traditional tales linked to our local seasons. Sometimes, I improvise and create stories with the audience. In duo with Catherine Bastianel, it’s even more delightful!

Céline Viret:
Between storytelling and encounters, tales have come to me over time to be expressed through my voice and to connect with the audience.
