Between the House and the Field

« Artaud: un portrait en décomposition » began as a theatrical adaptation of the poetry and letters of French poet, actor, surrealist and mad man Antonin Artaud. My initial work on the project was carried out at Le LABO with a grant from the OAC’s program « Jets de théâtre ». Artaud’s writings and ideas often defy conventional theories and practices of performance and interpretation and my research was carried out with this in mind.

Le Laboratoire d’Art is pleased to present Raison d’État, a show by Stefan St-Laurent and Mikiki. Collaborating for the first time in a collective show, the artists address two very important issues affecting the LGBT community today: bullying and seropositivity. Each artist is presenting a series of artworks that will interplay in a dialogue about communication, state of being and politics within the walls of Le Labo.
