Jean-Lorin Sterian – The Artist Who Turned His Home into a Theatre and Art into a Personal Experience

C&B: How would you describe yourself in one sentence to make those who don’t know you yet curious?

Jean-Lorin Sterian: A person who, if he can’t find his place, builds it himself.

C&B: If we were to follow the narrative thread of your career or business, what key moments defined you?

Jean-Lorin Sterian: Giving up my journalism career, which coincided with the opening of lorgean theatre. Organizing the first edition of HomeFest in 2014. The first concert with pj.lo & the accidentals, where I had the courage to sing live.

C&B: What has been the most difficult moment so far in your journey, and how did you overcome it?

Jean-Lorin Sterian: The burnout caused by working on my PhD, after organizing 14 festivals (HomeFest and lorgennale) over 10 years. I took a sabbatical year, which I am living now.

C&B: Is there a dream or ambition that has always guided you, regardless of obstacles?

Jean-Lorin Sterian: I don’t perceive myself as an ambitious person. Over time, I’ve taken paths I didn’t anticipate. I’ve ended up doing things I didn’t necessarily dream of, but they were within me, waiting for the right context to emerge.

C&B: What were you like at the beginning of your journey, and how do you feel you’ve transformed since then?

Jean-Lorin Sterian: From the end of high school until about 15 years ago, I was convinced that my calling was to write. I sincerely believed that was my purpose in life. Then I discovered other forms of artistic expression. I’ve always believed I can offer an original perspective on the world. When I stop believing that, I’ll stop altogether. more here
