After a debut as performer at the Go Drag! Festival, Océan became internationally known for his multimedia performances involving videos, live singing and poetry slam - from Berlin to New York, Jakarta or Vancouver. Nominated as ‘most influential personality’ at the Mix! Film Festival in Brazil, winner of the Kings Village Contest in Italy and the Trav’Academy in France, Océan was featured in various magazines like Têtu, Les Inrockuptibles, or ‘art’ as one of the revelations of the Dockville Festival for “consciously taking the in-between position, as man and woman, musician and performer, artist and dancer”. The documentary “Risk, Stretch or Die” about his life between genders has been screened in film festivals around the world. Océan also acts in a couple of films in various male or female characters, incl. “Lost in Generations”, “Fucking Different” or “Mommy is coming”, all screened at the Berlinale. After performing ‘T/HE/Y’ (Josep Caballero Garcia) at HAU and Kampnagel in 2015 and 2016, Océan had a 3-year hiatus from the stage to take on theater training at the Acting Muscle and write LIFE SQUARED, which opened the Festival de Théâtre Francophone FTF#9 in 2019 in Berlin.
