In 2012 he founded a gestural theater company that toured the world with the show Doffice. He has also been directing theater workshops for 15 years. For several years he has been actively involved in writing plays such as Chaplin, Doffice, Lupin and Moutoufs, which deals with the dual Belgian-Moroccan identity. He was in the last film of the Dardenne Brothers_ Le jeune Ahmed_ for which he was nominated best actor in a second role.

In 2024, Othmane Moumen builds a life-size double of his father with his own hands to make him speak in Parti en fumée, a puppet show in which he addresses his father’s lung cancer.
