Lucien is a lighting designer based in Paris, France. Greatly influenced by contemporary dancing, he seeks simple and abstract lights, trying to get closer to bodies and performers. Inspired by artists such as Annie Leuridan, Claude Régy or Jan Martens, he explores slowness, radicality, monochromes and single sources.

After an amateur approach to concert lighting, Lucien Laborderie graduated from ENSATT (Lyon) in Lighting Design.

Now working in France and abroad, he designs lights for dance (Dimitris Papaioannou – INK, FRITZ Cie – That’s All Folks!) and theater (Léo Martin – INYGUMA, Tonan Quito – NOS Tartufo), or for various performances (Claudine Simon – ANATOMIA, Agathe Chevallier – La Chambre de Compensation).

He also works as a tour operator or lighting technician, notably for the Geneva Ballet, or the Théâtre du Peuple in Bussang, France.
