Bast Hippocrate is a Swiss and Afro-descendant artist whose work interweaves vulnerability, raw physicality and autofiction. His practice stages magnetic, porous bodies to explore how intimate narratives resonate collectively, creating links between the personal and the political. 

Beginning as an autodidact, he developed his artistic voice in alternative and associative spaces — off-spaces, street contexts, and squats — before earning his Bachelor from La Manufacture HES-SO Lausanne in 2019. His works, including LoveLettersOrNot (2021), which addresses intrafamilial sexual violence, and Joyaux Lourdement Sous-estimés (2025), explore intimacy, the complexity of human relationships, and the navigation of trauma with tenderness and intensity. Moving between dance, performance, and narrative forms, Bast Hippocrate continues to cultivate artistic spaces rooted in listening, resonance, and embodied transformation.
