Tania El Khoury thinks that being a solo artist is very lonely so she will refer to herself as "we."
We create immersive and challenging performances in which the audience is an active collaborator. We see art as a political and relational practice so our audience is often an intimate group. We perform in real sites ranging from the great hall at the British Museum to an old church in Beirut once used as a military base during the Lebanese civil war. We don't like neutral spaces, we don't like being neutral. We prefer real people's feedback to art critics but just in case it's important for you, we recently won the Total Theatre Award for Innovation and the Arches Brick Award. Here are some quotes from reviews:
"She makes you think about the nature of relationships and the reality of our role-playing, the thin line between art and the everyday." The Herald
"Loaded with provocative political implications." **** Donald Hutera
