In 2012, he founded Kuiperskaai - a theatre and visual arts collective - in Ghent, where he worked as a writer and actor in productions such as ‘1095’ and ‘Hamlet’. Summer 2020, he joined Needcompany, where he is active as a playwright, actor and curator. He wrote both ‘Billy’s Violence’ (2021) and ‘Billy’s Joy’ (2023). ‘Billy’s Violence’ was published by Bebuquin. He played the part of Blind Poet in the opera ‘Intolleranza 1960’ at Salzburger Festspiele 2021. 

In the frame of ‘War Room Content’ - an European project led by Dark Riviera to install a think tank and writers' room for European television series that aims to redefine the way content is created - he is currently working with Luna Kies on storytelling, with a particular focus on themes such as the Belgian government, state security, international corruption, and money laundering.
