S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Lebanese actor, playwright and visual artist Rabih Mrou\u00e9 will perform in the world premiere of his performance lecture \u201cBefore Falling Seek the Assistance of Your Cane \u2013 A Non-Academic Lecture by Rabih Mrou\u00e9\u201d on the international interchange platform Complexo Sul next Monday (23) at 7pm (BRT). The virtual live event will be performed in English and feature Portuguese subtitles. The presentation is unique and can be seen on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Complexo Sul is an event that brings together several art activities and is hosted by the Brazilian-led collective and work nucleus Complexo Duplo. Its first edition took place in Rio de Janeiro, and this year\u2019s second edition is taking place from November 2 to December 18, featuring lectures, plays and meetings online.<\/p>\n

Mrou\u00e9 lives in Berlin, Germany and was in Brazil during the 2017 S\u00e3o Paulo International Theatre Festival (pictured above<\/em>). He is one of the great names in the investigative genre performance lecture, where visual artists, dancers and actors merge an academic lecture and an art performance, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.<\/p>\n

In his new work, Mrou\u00e9 narrates the experience of an unusual incident that took place during his prep for an art exhibition in the city of Salzburg, Austria. The artist raises a series of questions about the relationship between art and the public sphere. Mixing his memories and artistic researches to historical facts, he evokes the perverse, intimidating American airborne leaflet propaganda in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945), the Iraq War (2003-2001) and the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), which he eyewitnessed in his teenage years. Through the tale, the artist invites the audience to reflect on the lines between life and art and the relationship between art the public sphere.<\/p>\n

The performance will be followed by a chat with the artist and theater critic and philosophy professor Patrick Pessoa moderated by Complexo Sul curator Daniele Avila Small. The meeting will feature translation into Portuguese.<\/p>\n

The artist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rabih Mrou\u00e9 was born in Beirut in 1967. Rooted in theater, his work lies at the frontiers of theater, performance and video, bluring the lines between fiction and documentary. Usually the conflicts in the Middle East of the last decades, especially in Lebanon, serve as material to the artist. He is co-founder of the Beirut Art Center; a contributing editor of TDR: The Drama Review (NYC); and theater director at M\u00fcnchner Kammerspiele (Munich).<\/p>\n
