Mado Chadebec

Mado Chadebec is a visual artist, author, illustrator, stage designer and performer from France.

She graduated with honors from the European School of Arts in Angoulême in 2019, and studied

stage design at the University of Quebec in Montreal in 2017. Her writing credits include the play

Bravarde, written as her art school thesis, the choose-your-own-adventure comic Au Fil

d’Ariane, published with Rutabaga Editions, and the poetry zine Astérisé.e.s made for her solo

exhibition of the same name in Poitiers arts library.

Over the past few years, Mado has worked as a stage designer on Olympique by Lambert Riquier

and Paradoxos company (set and costume design), Les Enfants-Pierre by Alice Kudlak and

Quelque Refuge company (props making: masks and puppets), and Etnea by Amélie Gratias and

Chambre 2046 company (costume design). The joy of working on these productions has pushed

her to pursue this path and enter the MFA Stage Design program at the Lir.
