Hacking Lab

In the recent social context of tightened personal and collective freedoms, we are witness to the restriction of public space for experimentation and creative expression.

It is an urgent matter for us to engage with this question, and pursue work that explores the full potential of the urban spaces in which we live, by developing avoidance strategies and theatrical tactics that use the loopholes existing between everyday use and legislation. We look to create unique works by developing an intimate relationship with the people that live in these spaces, and nevertheless practice within a legal framework.

In co-production with the Play Urban project (Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin of Strasbourg), ‘Hacking’ is a laboratory that brings together students, researchers, academics, writers and other artists, and moves between the cities of Marseille, Tunis and Strasbourg from 2020 to 2023. Hiding in plain sight, avoidance strategies and playing with convention, will create new paths for site and social-specific theatrical forms. We will work to deconstruct the theatrical stage as a conventional format, rethink its limits and open it up.

A series of public performances will be produced as part of the Marseille Festival in the summer of 2022, in Strasbourg in the spring of 2023, and in Tunis in October 2023.
