He is a recurring presence throughout the work of American choreographer Trajal Harell and has performed with Ligia Lewis, Noé Soulier, Daniel Linehan, Mathilde Monnier, Alexandra Bachzetsis and Price among others. Since 2022, his interest in burlesque forms of performance has led him to create several acts for the traveling Cabaret Les Moches.

Lac also authors choreographic projects in collaboration with artists from various discipline : Blue Roses (2024), If Then Castle (2023), Fool’s Gold (2021, co-authored with composer Tobias Koch) and Such Sweet Thunder (2019, co-authored with composer Tobias Koch and visual artist Tore Wallert, awarded Young Choreographers Prize at Festival Impulstanz). As part of the “Artiste accompagné” program of CN D - centre national de la danse in Pantin from 2021 to 2023, he developed the performance Knight-Night with Bryana Fritz (2022).
