Julie Hega is a French-Cameroonian multidisciplinary artist based in Paris.
She is an actress, singer and visual artist.
After 10 years at the Conservatory of Caen (France) where she studied cello, singing and orchestra, she passions for theater and plastic art, which enhance her multidisciplinary artistic practice. She works with Thomas Jolly on “Le Ciel La Nuit et la Pierre Glorieuse”, in Festival d’Avignon in 2016. She plays in 2017 in “Sombre Rivière”, created at the National Strasbourg Theater and directed by Lazare. She is nominated Talent Adami Théâtre and works with Samuel Achache and Jeanne Candel in “La Chute de la Maison” at the Festival d’Automne (Paris). In 2019 she plays the part of Desdemone in “ Othello “ at the Théâtre de La Ville (Paris).
Between 2019 and 2020, she is conducting a musical and identity research project in Cameroon, giving rise to the installation-performance “PINK RECITAL” at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Caen in 2021. At the period, she is developing her opera singing skills with Elène Golgevit and Nikola Takov. In 2022, together with journalist Nina Pareja, she produced the podcast “KINTSUGI - L'histoire de ma reconstruction”, a 10-hour documentary podcast series produced by SLATE, shot over three years, which blends expert insights with her intimate journey of reconstruction following the sexual crimes she suffered as a child. As a result of this work, she wrote her very first text, the poem “Quelqu'un n'est pas venu”. In 2022 she is soloist in the opera “My invisible soul” at the Academy of the international festival of Aix-en-Provence and she plays in “The color of trees” a film directed by Marina Dumont Anastassiadou.
In 2023, she wrote and directed her first film, “PAYSAGE DE MA MORT”. The same year, she was invited by the Institut Français and the amazing artist Barthélémy Toguo to create a work at the Bandjoun Station Contemporary Art Foundation (Cameroon), where she created “MBOMBO REQUIEM”, a monumental hair installation questioning the unalterable part of Afro Descendant memory. She is currently writing and directing a short film “DON QUICHOTTE BAUCHGEFÜHL” after a first musical residency at the international festival of Aix-en-Provence. In 2024, she plays in “Le beau rôle” a film directed by Victor Rodenbach.
Invited by Barthélémy Toguo, she exhibited the RÉSURRECTION project at the Fondation Manifa during the Dakar Biennale Off 2024 for a group exhibition featuring 15 artists, including David Lynch and Orlan. This is a series of three resurrection dolls, a reference to the irreducible part of life in every being that enables rebirth after violence. In 2025, she held her first solo exhibition in Paris, KISS ME WHERE
IT HURTS - Monument d’amour, featuring two monumental sculptures and a painting at Confiture Parisienne.
In 2026, she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and recorded her first pop album. In France she is represented in film by agent François Tessier at Agence Aimant.
