Xénia Gould

Place like an Unnamed Feeling

Xénia Gould is a transdisciplinary poet from the lobster capital of the world, Shediac. Based in Montreal, this literary rockstar works as an interdisciplinary poet and performer, carrying the torch of her Acadian dialect, Chiac. Always in flux, her relationship to her body, her desires and the concept of home inform her nuanced yet explosive view of the world. She is known for her vivid skills as a performer, where her ability to question the structure of the world is always coupled with moments of authentic sensuality and character work. Xénia is currently working on her one-woman show, Juste vide ton cœur at Usine C as Associate Artist (2024-26).
