La Balsamine — Saison 2023-2024
La Balsamine is a well established contemporary theatre in Brussels dedicated to supporting emerging artists through research, creative residencies and its production support. The artistic direction changes every 5 years and we were happy to join the new ‘gardeners’, Isabelle Bats & Mathias Varenne, as their graphic designers.

La Balsamine — Saison 2023-2024
La Balsamine is a theatre, but also can be thought of as a garden where performing arts are nurtured. It promotes sensitivity and fragility imbedded in the core of its shows along with a bold, strong attitude.
The visual identity is exclusively built with our rawest material: typography. We use a growing pattern where the letters reflect the Balsamine theatre's ethos. For the season's catalogue, we also chose a raw print product: the rotative newspaper press.

& Quentin Lamouroux).
