Charlène Dannancier is a French composer, performer, and visual artist whose work spans unsettling music rooted in industrial and noise, voice, writing, audiovisual performance, installation, and contemporary opera.

Her practice centers on music, melding visceral electronics to emotionally charged tensions, as an embodied medium that weaves through the diverse forms she explores.
At the heart of her work lies a deep engagement with the notion of excess, understood both as a marker of exclusion and a force of resistance against normative structures and rigid classifications. Through immersive, often disquieting experiences, she crafts encounters that navigate the thresholds of intimacy and discomfort.
Her pieces interrogate contemporary dynamics of consent and control, while continually returning to vulnerability as an ethical axis and site of critical reflection.
