🇪🇺 TEEN European Digital Community: Hawthorn of Light from France

Hawthorn of Light

I’m a curious and introspective person who feels deeply and thinks a lot. I’m passionate about theatre and music, and I’ve spent years on stage. I’m currently studying dramatic arts, always searching for truth and vulnerability in performance. I love blending disciplines — especially piano and acting — to create emotional stories. I’m drawn to the abstract, meaningful late-night conversations, sensitivity, and authenticity. And I also love to party, laugh, and enjoy the present moment fully.

The soil / the need

I was looking for a place to express myself — a safe place where I could be free to become many different characters. Theatre became my time away from the world, a break from life and its problems. When I practiced, I wasn’t “myself with my life”; I was the character, and that gave me room to breathe.

The first seed

A parent / family.

Tell us about that first spark

My first time performing in front of a crowd. I still remember the chill, the pride I had never felt before, and the joy of sharing emotions with so many people — as if we were one big entity.

Roots (people & experiences that shaped your path)

My drama teachers have been the most important roots in my theatre journey. They each hold a special place in my heart and gave me pieces of their own experience and perspective — not only on performance, but on life. They influenced who I am today, and I’m deeply grateful for that.

The trunk (what keeps you in theatre)

First, my love for theatre. Second, my desire to keep improving and continue doing what brings me joy. If I had given up, I would have missed so many incredible people and opportunities.

Branches (future / desire)

Theatre will have a major place in my life — I believe it will remain the center of it. It is already present in my studies, my relationships, and daily life, and I can’t imagine life without it.

Are you currently involved in cultural activities?

Yes, regularly.

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? Why?

A hawthorn. I’ve always felt connected to the fantastic world, and hawthorn carries many legends — protection from shadows and dark forces, and the symbolism of fairies. Since my name is linked to a fairy, I feel naturally connected to this tree. For me, it brings peace and light.
