Inés Sybille Vooduness is a dancer, cultural researcher, and teacher. Born in Barcelona to a Catalan mother and a Haitian father, she currently resides in Lisbon. Inés Sybille creates fictional encounters with Haitian Vodou deities through her choreographic field: Kuduro from Angola, Coupé Décalé from Côte d’Ivoire, and Dancehall from Jamaica. She shapes this philosophical material and explores the possibility of producing an existential awareness by reterritorializing these codes.

In 2023, Inés was selected as an artist-in-residence at La Casa Encendida with her performance Santa de sustrato autónomo. She is currently working on a co-production with the TNT Festival in Terrassa and Teatro Bairro Alto in Lisbon for her piece Simbi em águas astronómicas. Simultaneously, she is launching her research project O nosso lakou digital, selected for a residency under the 2024 Núcleo program at Forum Dança, Campus Paulo Cunha e Silva, and as a pitch project at Common Lab 2024.

"Both sides of my family are Catholic. After my father's death in 2018, I began constructing my own relationship with Haiti. I decipher the books, paintings, and music that have surrounded me since childhood. The common thread between them soon became clear: it is Vodou that allows me to connect with what permeates my diasporic existence—the invisible, the imagination, the death drive, the mysterious contact with what has never been verbalized, and the need to find balance between two worlds."
