L’L | chercher autrement en arts vivants

PAOLA PISCIOTTANO

We are delighted to welcome Paola Pisciottano, author, performer and director to our residency. Her research focuses on questioning certain fundamentals of "documentary theater" in the post-truth era, where objective facts now seem to have less impact than emotions and opinions. It is in this vast field of experimentation that she will focus her residency in Montreal on a central question: beyond my main narrative tools up to now (which are speech, video, sound and objects), what place can the body, writing from the body, take in my stage attempts?

Based in Brussels, L'L | chercher autrement en arts vivants supports long-term research practices, deliberately placed outside the usual chain of production and performance. Combining reflective work and stage practice, research at L'L is a process that extends over several years, with at least four residencies a year, spread out over different venues thanks to a network of international partnerships (with the support of Wallonie-Bruxelles international), and for which the resident-researchers are accompanied and financially supported by a grant via L'L fondation (public utility foundation).
